As we become older, maintaining a healthy lifestyle becomes increasingly important. To support gut health, joint function, and immunity, one effective way is through natural remedies.
Here’s a simple yet powerful recipe that my grandmother used to swear by. It includes pumpkin seeds, raisins, flaxseed, and honey – ingredients known for their health benefits.
Ingredients:
5 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
4 tablespoons raisins
3 tablespoons ground flaxseed
4-5 tablespoons natural honey
Preparation:
Prepare Ingredients: Pumpkin seeds are rich in zinc, which is excellent for bones, and phosphorus, essential for collagen production. Raisins reduce body acidity and remove toxins, also having bactericidal, immunostimulating, and diuretic properties. Rinse raisins with water before use.
Blend Ingredients: Grind the pumpkin seeds and raisins in a blender. Then add the ground flaxseed, which reduces high blood cholesterol and is rich in B vitamins, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus. Flaxseed also protects bones from osteoporosis and is beneficial for cartilage and bones.
Add Honey: Finally, add 4-5 tablespoons of natural honey, containing B, K, E, C vitamins, and provitamin A. Honey helps regulate blood sugar levels, reduce blood pressure, normalize heartbeats, stomach acidity, and the gastrointestinal tract’s microflora. It also stimulates digestion and nutrient absorption.
Mix and Store: Thoroughly mix all ingredients to combine and store in a clean jar in the refrigerator.
