Apples, Lemonade, Blue Spirulina, and Kava Kava

Antioxidant, Relaxation and Fiber Nourishment

The health benefits of lemons are attributed primarily to the high level of vitamin C that the fruit provides. Apples are a convenient package of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and flavonoids (beneficial plant compounds) that provide a range of valuable health benefits.  Spirulina is a type of blue-green algae that contains a number of nutrients, including B vitamins, beta-carotene, and vitamin E. Spirulina also contains antioxidants, minerals, chlorophyll, and is commonly used as a source of vegan protein.  Among proponents, spirulina has been used to support a number of health conditions, including fatigue, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and viral infections.  Spirulina benefits also include weight loss, increased energy, and stimulation of the immune system.

Kava kava (piper methysticum) is a plant native to the islands of the South Pacific. A member of the pepper family, the root and rhizome of the kava kava plant are used to prepare natural remedies for insomnia, anxiety, and menopausal symptoms.
