WHY IT’S HEALTHY
Eggs have 6 grams of high-quality protein that help sustain mental and physical energy throughout the day. Choline in egg yolks promotes normal cell activity, liver function and the transportation of nutrients throughout the body.Red onion has sulfur compounds, and studies have shown an inverse association between the frequency of consuming onions and the risk of several common cancers. Onions can also protect against too much LDL cholesterol by limiting the activity of harmful free radicals within blood vessels, lowering oxidative stress, improving blood circulation and blood pressure levels. Celery can lower high cholesterol and inflammation and is super hydrating. Lemons are rich in Vitamin C needed for collagen production that is essential for smooth, healthy skin. They are rich in bioflavonoids (which can significantly boost the immune system) and are a good source of B6, thiamin, calcium, magnesium and potassium. Cilantro is packed with vitamins A, K, & C, minerals such as iron, calcium, and magnesium, and has more antioxidants than most fruits or vegetables. Cilantro is a heavy-metal detoxifier and is able to remove mercury and aluminum from where it is stored in the fat tissues. Parsley is a detoxifier and full of nutrition, including B vitamins as well as vitamins A, C, and K. If you are low in trace minerals; parsley provides magnesium, sulfur, iron, zinc, manganese, molybdenum, chromium, selenium, iodine, and calcium. It’s also helpful for anything related to the mouth; like gum disease and tooth decay. Black pepper helps the main potent active ingredient (curcumin) in turmeric to be fully absorbed by the body during digestion.
