This is the type of fiber that feeds your good gut microbes and helps them thrive! When those microbes are well nourish, your gut is able to heal itself and digestion runs smoother. Oranges are also a good source of potassium, which is essential for heart function, nerve function and muscle contraction.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Tomatoes<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Tomatoes contain different antioxidants. One of those is lycopene, which is what gives tomatoes their beautiful red color. Lycopene may protect against heart disease and even lower the risk of cancer. It also protects your cells from damage by fighting free radicals!<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Apple Cider Vinegar<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Apple Cider Vinegar is made from the fermentation of apples! When buying apple cider vinegar, look for unpasteurized or organic brands that contain \u201cThe Mother\u201d. This simply means it contains yeast and other fermented by products. The yeast looks like stringy cobwebs you will be able to see in the vinegar. There are so many potential benefits to regular ACV consumption, such as helping the body naturally detox, supporting healthy digestion and balancing pH within the body.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-103417 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/healthygrocerygirl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/orangemolassesbbqsauce3-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"white plate with grilled skewers and a cup of bbq sauce.
