Notes
Pumpkin seeds help maintain good function in the liver, bladder, bowel, and joints due to anti-inflammatory abilities.
Pumpkin seeds are high in magnesium, which regulates blood sugar levels and lowers diabetes risk.
Sunflower seeds are high in protein, good for skin, heart, thyroid, and contain vitamin E.
Dates and dark chocolate make it a nutrition powerhouse.
