I have food fixes for some of the most common health issues.
Starting with:
● Hot peppers for your heart! According to the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, the capsaicin in chili peppers – the compound that gives them heat – can help prevent plaque buildup in your arteries. And having spicy food 4 times a week can lower the risk of a severe heart attack by 40% – and cut stroke risk in HALF!
● The next food fix: Broccoli for viruses. Both the florets and stems of broccoli help stop viruses from replicating. Johns Hopkins University says it’s the sulforaphane compounds in broccoli that boosts the immune system’s ability to fight infections by halting a virus’ ability to breed.
● And one more food fix – for your eyesight, eat oranges. A UCLA study found that people who had two servings of fresh oranges a week had significantly lower odds of developing glaucoma. It’s due to the antioxidants that improve blood flow to the optic nerve. And if you have 3 servings of oranges per week, you can slash your risk of glaucoma by 80%!
