Nuts are one of nature’s greatest gifts. Being calorie-dense, they are a good source of energy, as well as one of the richest sources of healthy fats, vitamins, minerals and amino acids available to us.

The secret to fighting bacterial infections has always been about using natural remedies, not Big Pharma-manufactured ones. This has been true ever since Sir Alexander Fleming accidentally left a window open and discovered the world-changing power of Penicillium notatum in 1928.
