The Mechanisms

Leafy Greens (kale, spinach, chard, dandelion)

vegetable

Dark leafy greens deliver chlorophyll, which supports cellular oxygenation and gentle detoxification, plus the highest food concentrations of vitamin K1 and folate.

Preparation: Eat raw in salads with EVOO and lemon. Lightly cooked also works — and is required for thyroid patients eating cruciferous greens.

Pomegranate

fruit · Mediterranean, Persian, and Ayurvedic medicine

Punicalagins are among the most potent antioxidants in any food, supporting endothelial function and helping reduce arterial plaque buildup over time.

Blueberries (wild preferred)
