How we nourish the insides reflects on the outside. It is our goal to increase our health-span to match our life-span. Yes I’m talking about anti-aging and living a longer younger life. What we eat and how we nourish our body has a profound impact on our homeostasis, in other words, it affects how our body functions… including how we age.
If that beautiful balance is shifted or disrupted and homeostasis cannot be maintained, the results may not allow for normal body function. Negative symptoms begin to present, leaving room for disease, poor health, and advanced aging. One of the biggest contributing factors to maintain the delicate balance, nutrition.
Butternut squash is full of antioxidants & vitamins
Butternut squash is an excellent source of fiber. It includes vitamins A, C, E, and B vitamins along with minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and zinc. If you are looking for an anti-aging secret, you found one. Nourishing your body from the inside out will restore that beautiful GLOW.
