Start the day with a heart-healthy and digestion-friendly
snack!
As the fig season is coming to a near end, I’m trying to get
the most of my favorite fruit while it lasts. Lately, mornings have involved a
makeshift Greek yogurt concoction, with figs, walnuts, and honey. It’s a light,
fiber and protein-packed way to start the day.
Figs are a mainstay in the Mediterranean diet and are
exceptionally beneficial. They are an excellent source of heart-healthy
minerals potassium, magnesium, and calcium, effectively reduce blood pressure,
and help to improve your digestive system and regularity. Dried figs
concentrate more nutrition in a single serving, but fresh figs are lighter and
water-rich.
