Have you ever tried pumpkin seed oil?

Pumpkin seed oil has many benefits and uses.  Some of them are below:

• Improve prostate function
• Lower cholesterol
• Treatment for cystitis
• Improve Kidney Function
• Ease Arthritis pain
• Prevent Diabetes
• Anti-Parasitic
• Increasing Mother’s milk production

The dressing in this recipe is a combination of pumpkin seed oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and dried thyme. I love it because it’s tangy and sweet. You’ll feel “fall” in your mouth.

Popeye says, “eat your spinach!”

Spinach has so many benefits one of which is to decrease oxidative stress which triggers accelerated aging and can cause cancer or diabetes. That’s because it’s full of antioxidants.

Eat it anytime
