Onions:
- Onions are a good source of antioxidants, which can help protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals.
- They are also high in vitamin C and fiber, which can help support a healthy immune system and digestive system, respectively.
- Some studies have suggested that onions may also have anti-inflammatory properties, which may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer.
Avocados:
- Avocados are a good source of healthy fats, fiber, and several vitamins and minerals, including vitamin K, folate, and potassium.
- The healthy fats in avocados may help improve cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.
- Avocados also contain antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which can help protect your eyes from damage.
Mānuka Honey:
- Manuka honey is a type of honey that comes from New Zealand and has high levels of a compound called methylglyoxal (MGO), which has antibacterial properties.
- Some studies have suggested that Mānuka honey may be effective in treating wounds and infections, and have anti-inflammatory properties.
