Walnut

Walnut is rich in fiber, which is necessary for the normal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. It contains vitamin E and B, trace elements Fe, Cu, Zn, Co, Mg and K. This combination is useful for pregnant women, for the normal development of the fetus, for adolescents and those who have a busy schedule, doing intellectual work. Walnut contributes to the normal functioning of the brain.

It is rich in beneficial fatty acids. Regulates cholesterol level and blood pressure, increases the body's resistance, strengthens the immune system, is effective in anemia and helminth infections (worms invasion).

The recommended daily dose is 5 walnut halves.

Honey

Is distinguished by nutritional value and healing properties. Contains carbohydrates, which are a source of energy for the body. It is rich in B and C vitamins, contains minerals K, Ca, Na, P, Mg, Fe, Zn.

Natural honey enhances the metabolism, has a bactericidal, anti-inflammatory and tonic effect, accelerates the process of tissue repair, regulates the functioning of the digestive system, stimulates the work of internal organs and the immune system.
