Happy Grapefruit & Avocado Salad
Ingredient Highlights
Avocados are high in fiber and contain more potassium than bananas! The fat in avocado helps your body absorb the vitamins and antioxidants from other plant foods.
Cayenne pepper contains a compound called capsaicin that gives it both its hot taste and its medicinal properties.
Cilantro helps cleanse the body of toxic metals such as mercury, arsenic, and lead. It possesses antibacterial and anticancer properties.
Grapefruit has many reported health benefits including helping to prevent cardiovascular disease and certain kinds of cancer, managing diabetes, and improving digestion and sleep. However, there are numerous drugs that should NOT be taken with grapefruit or grapefruit juice. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you’re on any prescribed medications.
Smelling grapefruit essential oil helps boost energy and vitality, while also calming the mind. It may also help with appetite control. In a 2005 study, rats exposed to the scent of grapefruit essential oil for 15 minutes 3 times a week experienced a reduction in appetite, food intake, and body weight.
Olive oil is high in nutrients including vitamins D, E, K, and A as well as omega-3 fatty acids. For the highest quality, look for organic extra virgin olive oil in dark glass bottles or tins that has an expiry date.
Red onions are a rich source of quercetin and anthocyanin, powerful antioxidants that protect the heart and lower inflammation and cancer risk.
The powerhouse trio of herbs in Magi-Complexx provides the strongest, most synergistic healing effect, helping sufferers of arthritis pain, constant muscle aches and pains, neuropathy, systemic inflammation, slowed wound healing, circulatory challenges, as well as skin irritations like eczema, psoriasis, and acne.
