| Raw Almonds |
I made three major lifestyle changes that led to my recovery from fibromyalgia. Making these choices can help moderate symptoms, not only from fibromyalgia, but also from many other chronic illnesses and autoimmune diseases.
- I got as many chemicals as possible out of my home environment by changing what I used for cleaning and personal grooming.
- I stopped eating most processed food.
- I started eating real food with a lot of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients.
Check out the post from February 8 for info on the health benefits of adding antioxidant rich foods to your diet. Almonds are a delicious and versatile food high in antioxidants.They are a great source of Vitamin E, Vitamin B2, manganese, copper and other nutrients. Look for raw unsalted almonds with no additives. They can be eaten by the handful for a snack, sprinkled over yogurt, added to muffin batter, and used in stir-fry recipes. I have searched the web this week for healthy almond recipes to give you some ideas of creative ways to use this nutritious little nut.Click the links to check out some of my favorite finds.
