Horse Chestnut is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. The active component, Aescin, may be helpful in improving circulation, increasing cardiovascular health, supporting healthy blood pressure, and reducing varicose veins.

2. Avocados & Belly Fat

An Avocado a day may keep the belly fat away. New research shows that consuming an avocado on a daily basis helped to reduce visceral fat in the abdominal region.

3. Tea & Brain Health

Habitual tea drinking may have benefits for your brain health. A new study shows that tea drinkers show healthy cognitive function and better protection against brain health decline than non-tea-drinkers.
