Bananas – rich in potassium, essential for heart health and blood pressure regulation. They provide quick energy from natural sugars, contain dietary fiber for digestion, and offer essential vitamins like vitamin C and vitamin B6.

Pineapple – high vitamin C content, which supports the immune system and acts as an antioxidant. It also contains bromelain, an enzyme with anti-inflammatory properties, and provides essential nutrients like manganese and fiber.

Kale – a nutrient-dense leafy green that offers vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like calcium and potassium. It is a potent source of antioxidants, which contribute to its anti-inflammatory properties and may help protect against chronic diseases. Additionally, it is high in fiber, promoting digestive health, and supporting heart health by lowering cholesterol levels.

Spinach – rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like iron and calcium, which support bone health, immune function, and blood clotting. Its high fiber content promotes digestive health, and the presence of antioxidants contributes to anti-inflammatory effects. 

Cashews – are healthy due to their nutrient density, providing essential minerals like magnesium, zinc, and iron. They offer heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, protein for muscle support, and valuable antioxidants. Cashews contribute to overall well-being with vitamins like K and E. Consumed in moderation, they may have potential cardiovascular benefits.
