SUMMARY of HEALTH BENEFITS

SALMON is a commonly consumed fish praised for its high protein content and omega-3 fatty acids. There are several types of salmon found in the northern Atlantic and Pacific oceans and eaten in many cultures around the world.

LEMON a good source of vitamin C and of flavonoids, or antioxidants, which are thought to boost health and wellbeing in several ways.

TOMATOE is a nutrient-dense superfood that offers benefit to a range of bodily systems. Its nutritional content supports healthful skin, weight loss, and heart health.

ONIONS are high in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Incorporating onions into a diet is very simple, with a versatile range of ways they can be prepared and cooked in regular foods.

KALE contains fiber, antioxidants, calcium, and vitamin K, among others.
Even the chlorophyll in kale may have health benefits.
It is also a good source of vitamin C and iron.

The JAPALENO PEPPERS or Chili are an excellent source of the B-vitamin complex, such as folate or folic acid. Low in calories. One serving of jalapenos contains 66 percent of vitamin C.

PINK HIMALAYAN salt is a type of rock salt mined from the Punjab region of Pakistan, near the foothills of the Himalayas.
It is chemically similar to table salt. It contains up to 98 percent sodium chloride. The remainder of the salt is made up of trace minerals, such as potassium, magnesium, and calcium, which give the salt its light pink tint.
The presence of these minerals also explains why Himalayan salt tastes different to regular table salt.

BLACK PEPPER is loaded with minerals and vitamins such as fiber, manganese, copper, calcium, chromium, iron, and vitamin K. Black pepper, either in the peppercorn or powder form, has been used as a seasoning spice in culinary preparations and for its wide-ranging medicinal properties (anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and gastro-protective properties) in many countries around the world.
