I am getting my second dose of yogurt in today. I added an 1oz to my carrot ginger soup. Totally helped to balance it out!

Trying to break this down as to why these foods were chosen, correct me if I'm wrong!!

yogurt - digestive health
blueberries - antioxidants?
spinach (kale, bok choy, romaine) - vitamins galore, also full of fiber
tomatoes (watermelon, pink grapefruit, papaya, guava) - something about the acidity that helps your metabolism?
walnuts (almonds, p;anuts, or macadamia) of course the healthy fats!
oats (Flaxseed, wild rice, quinoa) not sure what this offers, really
carrots (sweet potatoes, mango, butternut squash) also not sure of the benefits here

Great information but some of those are kinda expensive. I love all of those things but have a pretty small grocery budget. :sad:

Tomatoes = lycopene for heart health I believe
Oats - soluble fiber
Carrots - beta carotene
spinach = vitamin K
