Good afternoon, y’all!
During this time of year, you may be experiencing allergies or sickness due to the little ones going back to school. While the weather gets cooler, and we get into that time of year where our bodies have to fight off germs let's not forget about the nutrition our bodies need to do this! Did you know that a pecan can help? I'm serious! Compared to other nuts, pecans contain the highest level of Vitamin E, which is also known to be an antioxidant. Pecans also contain large amounts of other vitamins and minerals, like Magnesium, Folic Acid, Zinc, Calcium, Vitamin A, and the list goes on! What is so great about these vitamins and minerals is that they contain anti-inflammatory properties, help boost your immune system to fight off diseases, and help you become more heart healthy with how much antioxidants they contain! So, while you are enjoying a big slice of pecan pie this upcoming fall season, remind yourself that the pecans you are eating are packed full of nutrients that help your body tremendously! I hope y'all have a blessed day and stay healthy out there!
