A Healthy Food/Supplement Listing

Introduction: Supplement Benefits
I will list the benefits of the supplements listed below but there may be many more benefits and you can look them up online. Here is a list of how one can ensure one's health with healthy foods and supplements:

1) Coconut / MCT oil (Medium Chain Triglycerides):
Coconut MCT fats that are "made in a lab from coconut and palm kernel oils. Typical dietary fats are called long-chain triglycerides. MCTs are a fat source for people who cannot tolerate other types of fats."

Dr. Berg on YouTube always talks about the health benefits of cruciferous vegetables. Cruciferous vegetables include kale, cabbage, watercress, arugula, turnip greens, microgreens, etc. See the HRI article below for more information about cruciferous vegetables benefits.
  • Cruciferous vegetables contain essential trace minerals s.a. iron, selenium, copper, manganese, and zinc. These minerals are essential for heart health, blood pressure regulation, and protecting the body's cells from free radicals and oxidative damage.
16) Inositol:
I have made a blog on Inositol and you can look that up in my playlist. There are several types of Inositol and I use the powdered form that tastes like powdered sugar. See the link below about additional inositol benefits.
