By Dr. Paul Haider
Eating mucilaginous foods is one of the best things you can do, these foods have so many health benefits… here are a some foods that can change your life.
Nopales – This is a cactus that has prickly pear fruits that are great… but the stems have amazing powerful healing qualities too. Studies show that nopales lowers LDL or bad cholesterol by almost 35%, and lowered blood glucose by almost 20%.
Nopales is a powerful antioxidant that works well for arthritis and other inflammatory diseases and autoimmune disease, plus it also treats gastric ulcers and it contains more than 7 different antioxidants that help to slow the aging process and prevent disease caused by free radicals.
And nopales also contains lots of vitamin C too! Plus it gives your body a boost of energy and also boosts your immune system thus helping to protect you from colds and flues. And the red fruit binds with fat… and it’s high in fiber thus lowering cholesterol and helping with obesity.
Chia and Flax Seeds – Chis seeds are little black and white seeds that have powerful benefits because they contain Omega 3 oils and lower blood pressure, and prevent the blockage of arteries with plaques. And chia is a good anti-inflammatory agent too… thus helping with inflammation related to heart disease. And as little as 3 oz of chia seeds has more iron than spinach and more calcium than milk.
