Today we prepare a smoothie (with only 1.5 g of carbohydrates) based on almonds, which have antioxidant properties (cellular anti-aging). In addition, they can lower bad cholesterol while favoring the good one, improve triglycerides, blood pressure and blood sugar. A real boon for the health of the whole body. Don’t forget that almonds also help treat cold sores, candida and strengthen the immune system. We add fresh basil (not dried and preferably picked from an already grown plant), rich in Omega-3 (to reduce generalized inflammation throughout the body), rich in eugenol like cloves, a beneficial substance for keeping rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, intestinal and oral inflammation under control. Moreover, basil is a powerful digestive and can also relieve nausea. It also affects metabolism function, blood clotting and nervous system development during pregnancy; related to this, it’s worth knowing that basil is rich in flavonoids and can therefore stimulate milk production during breastfeeding. But that’s not all because a basil infusion can also reduce anxiety if taken continuously, as it has sedative properties. Finally, it is very useful as an anthelmintic (like garlic).
