I am very excited to be sharing the signature burgers (I got to say it) I’ve PERFECTED over the years!
Not only are they super easy to make, they are equally incredibly juicy and family friendly.
What I love most about these signature burgers is that they help to keep myself and my family healthy.
3 Top Health Benefits of these Signature Burgers
#1 Health Benefit: Helps to ease digestion with carminative herbs.
Jam packed with ‘carminative herbs’ like black pepper, basil and fennel. Carminative herbs are particularly powerful to help ease digestion. This health tip I learned from Dr. Jockers, a Doctor of Natural Medicine They work to normalize bowel contractility (great for those who have bowels that are too loose or too compact). Carminitive herbs also stimulate bile flow. Bile is necessary to start the emulsification of fats which then lipase and other bodily processes, finish the job. Breaking down fats is critical for healthy cell membranes (to allow for optimal nutrient exchange). Bile is also critical to sterilize the gut from unwanted invaders to keep your immune system – humming!
#2 Health Benefit: Keeps you cleaner and leaner with prebiotics.
Loaded with ‘prebiotics’ like onions and garlic. Prebiotic foods are food for your healthy gut bacteria. Having more of these good guys in our gut helps our body use the fiber-rich foods we eat, that would otherwise be non-digestible, as a substrate (building block) for their own metabolism. Short chain fatty acids is the by product of this action which then improves the overall health of your gut lining – leading to healthy digestive function and a cleaner, leaner you!
#3 Health Benefit: Look and feel younger with the power of antioxidants.
Rich in ‘antioxidants’ like blueberries. Antioxidants are what your body uses to ‘quench free radical production‘ and keep you from aging too fast. The secret ingredient in these signature burgers are the blueberries. I got this idea some years ago from Dr Mercola, a world renowned health expert Using the blueberries as part of the ingredients can help mitigate the carcinogenic (cancer causing) effects of charbroiling or BBQ burgers on higher heat.
Take it to another level and enjoy these with a glass of organic wine!
