Pecans: contain more than 19 vitamins and minerals – including vitamin A, vitamin E, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, several B vitamins and zinc. One ounce of pecans provides 10 percent of the recommended Daily Value for fiber. Pecans are also a natural, high-quality source of protein that contain very few carbohydrates and no cholesterol. Pecans are also naturally sodium-free, making them an excellent choice for those on a salt- or sodium-restricted diet. Their low saturated fat and high antioxidant capacity also help to prevent the risk of cancer, coronary heart disease and neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's. Lastly, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (September 2003), suggests that nuts like pecans may aid in weight loss and maintenance. Studies indicating that nut consumption may increase metabolic rates.

Cashews: are rich in natural healthy oils and minerals. They  are an excellent source of protein and fiber. Cashew nuts are also a good source of potassium, B vitamins and folate. They contain useful amounts of magnesium, phosphorous, selenium, B vitamins and copper, which contributes to Antioxidant Defenses, Energy Production and Bone and Blood Vessel protection. Their oleic acid promotes good cardiovascular health, even in individuals with diabetes. Studies of diabetic patients show that monounsaturated fat, when added to a low-fat diet, can help to reduce triglyceride levels. Triglycerides carry fat in the blood and are associated with heart disease. So the monounsaturated fats in pecans and cashews are extremely beneficial especially for people with diabetes.

Eating Nuts Lowers Risk of Weight Gain people who eat nuts at least twice a week are much less likely to gain weight than those who almost never eat nuts.

Dates are high in dietary fiber and carbohydrates. They contain more potassium than bananas and are fat, cholesterol and sodium free! Dates also provide essential vitamins and minerals - such as A1, B1, B2, B3, B5, C, magnesium and iron as well as over 20 different amino acids. These help us digest and assimilate carbohydrates easier and control blood sugar levels and fatty acids content in our bodies. The selenium lowers the risk of cancer and heart diseases, as well as helps us keep our immune systems healthy.

Agave is a low glycemic, gluten and allergen free, alternative to refined sugar. It does not stimulate digestive insulin secretion and so has been found suitable for diabetics.  Because of the low glycemic index, agave nectar is absorbed slowly into the bloodstream and will not significantly raise blood sugar levels.

Yakon for generations, yacon has been consumed to strengthen the immune system and to improve the quality of life of people suffering from chronic liver disease, kidney ailments and the symptoms of diabetes and hyperglycemics. Yacon Syrup, nature's sweet treat without the guilt, is freshly pressed from the yacon root. It is a glucose-free sweetener and contains sugars that are complex enough to be medicinal. The syrup actually helps our immune system combat viruses and bacteria. Yacon root is rich in potassium and antioxidants and is also considered the world's richest natural source of FOS (Fructooliosaccharides). Study's show a diet rich in FOS can help with weight management, cardiovascular diseases, prevention and the risk of cancer, and support for the control and prevention of many chronic diseases. Yacon is not only an extraordinary source of iron it is also a prebiotic able to aid digestion and colon function. In addition, Yacon syrup has the effect of thinning the blood and can therefore lower blood pressure by five to ten percent. It can also help cholesterol and discourage clot formation.
