This recipe has powerful elements to boost the immune system and lower inflammation.
When I discovered I could mix kale and seeds to make bread without any flour or eggs, I was amazed. This gluten free, dairy free and sugar free recipe is one I make regularly, because it is not only tasty, but nutrient dense to flip on all those longevity genes and support a strong immune response.
Kale, nuts and seeds are all very high in fiber and antioxidants, which are key to a healthy gut microbiome. About 70 percent of the immune system is housed in the gut. The fiber and prebiotics from the ingredients in this recipe help feed healthy gut bacteria to optimize the immune response.
Kale not only contains the powerful antioxidant vitamin C, but it is one of the world’s best sources of vitamin K. Just one cup of raw kale has almost 7 times the recommended daily amount!
Antioxidants found in the ingredients in this recipe help lower inflammation and counteract oxidative damage by free radicals in the body. Oxidative damage is believed to be among the leading drivers of aging and many diseases, including cancer. I consider my immune boosting kale bread like taking medicine…just tastier!
