Dates contain antioxidants, including polyphenols, which help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in the body.
Chia seeds are an excellent plant-based source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 that supports heart health by reducing inflammation, lowering blood pressure and improving cholesterol.
