Use Brazil nuts to fight inflammation. Brazil nuts contain selenium, a powerful anti-oxidant that neutralizes
free-radicals before they can cause inflammation, including the inflammation of chronic diseases such as arthritis.
Apples have a variety of healthful benefits and the Journal of Cell Metabolism just reported on a new benefit. A recent
study suggests that an apple a day may prevent the muscle wasting that occurs as we age. The apple’s peel contains high
levels of ursolic acid that promotes muscle building.
