 TIPS OF THE MONTH

BENEFITS of GINGER

For indigestion, gas, throat, and nose congestion, try ginger.  Grate and squeeze it into hot tea, add to juices, baked goods, and smoothies, to name a few.  For stomach cramps, munch on ginger.

HEALTHY FATS

Healthy fats like olive oil, almonds, avocados, and salmon are those that are unsaturated, which are usually liquid at room temperature.  These fats help keep your brain, blood vessels, and heart healthy.  Add a handful of blueberries for additional brain power.
