Super food of the day

Need a super food that is also tasty? Look no further than FIGS!   This immunity booster contains potassium, manganese, antioxidants, and help to lower insulin levels.  Potassium helps lower blood pressure and keep calcium in your body; manganese functions much like potassium and helps bone strength; while antioxidants of course help fight all kinds of cancer.  Figs are a great way to get some sweetness into your diet without the fat and calories.  Look for the dried variety at your local natural food store.  Try them plain or chop them up and incorporate them into a homemade energy bar!
