• Sesame seeds are a good source of protein, B vitamins, healthy fats, fiber and antioxidants? They may help regulate blood sugar, reduce arthritis pain and even lower cholesterol.

• Avocados are loaded with folate, magnesium, potassium, vitamins C, E, K and B6, healthy fats and omega-3 fatty acids. They may help reduce heart disease risk, improve gut health and overall wellness.

• Canned tuna is packed with healthy vitamins and minerals, too, and may lower your risk of heart disease and cancer, to name a few.
