Sweet Potato
Sweet potatoes are a popular alternative to traditional potatoes because of their sweet, delicious taste. They can be paired with anything from red meat to chicken, and they taste great sauteed or baked alongside some vegetables. In recent years, sweet potatoes have made their way into pasta dishes and even pizza toppings! Sweet potatoes are loaded with minerals and nutrients, namely potassium. Potassium is important for reducing blood pressure and keeping fluids in the body balanced. They can also keep your heart beating strong even as the years fly by!
Walnuts
We’re nuts about walnuts! This excellent snack or salad topper has huge amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. In case you were especially curious, omega-3’s are also known as alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). This means that these super delicious nuts can help regulate cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, and also keeps your heart healthy and happy. There is a reason why walnuts resemble the human brain, as they are incredibly beneficial for brainpower and concentration.
