Health Benefits of Ingredients

Lemons

The antioxidants found in lemons have properties that can protect cells against oxidative stress. Oxidative stress can lead to inflammation, which is a precursor to cardiovascular disease. Lemons also contain vitamin C, which has been shown to aid in decreasing the severity and duration of sickness with having adequate levels in the body.

Mushrooms

Mushrooms are a good source of zinc, which is important for wound healing, immunity and crucial for growth in infants and children. Mushrooms can also contain a small amount of vitamin D if they are exposed to UV light!

Squash

Squash contains both soluble and insoluble fiber, which is important for digestion! Soluble fiber dissolves in water creating a gel like consistency to aid in digestion. Insoluble fiber draws water into your stool, creating bulk. Adding squash into recipes is just one way to get these different types of fiber into your diet.
