Five smart sprinkles we used: NUTS Hazelnuts, pistachios, and walnuts are rich sources of unsaturated fats, which reduce inflammation and lower the risk of heart disease, cancer, and arthritis. SEEDS The vitamin E in pumpkin and sunflower seeds strengthens the immune system to ramp up its defense against bacteria and viruses. BERRIES These gems are packed with disease-fighting antioxidants plus fiber to aid digestion and help you feel full faster.
