WHY IT'S HEALTHY

Pomegranates are high in antioxidants and a great blood builder. They restore glucose reserves to the liver and help with focus and concentration. Wild blueberries are a powerful brain food, a potent prebiotic and great at restoring the liver. Walnuts are a terrific source of Omega 3s. Omega-3 fatty acids are not only helpful for heart health and brain health, but also for controlling inflammation, improving circulation, memory, thought processing and blood sugar control. Chia Seeds promote healthy skin, help to reduce signs of aging, and are a great source of energy. Sunflower Seeds are a healthy source of fat that serves as a building block for cell membranes. They help your body balance hormones, slow down absorption of food so you can go longer without feeling hungry, and also act as carriers for important fat- soluble vitamins.  Almonds help with cholesterol reduction, are beneficial when it comes to weight loss, and are high in Vitamin E, manganese and magnesium.
