Nourishment Notes

Peaches

Peaches, or “stone fruits”, contain the nutrient lutein to promote eye health. They also provide vitamin C to help the body more easily fight infections and lower inflammation.

Walnuts

Walnuts are one of the few plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids. These types of fats are important for heart and brain health, as well as reducing inflammation within the body.
