By swapping out some of those refined carbohydrate treats for something more nutritious, you can reduce systemic inflammation and get back to feeling more like yourself again.
It’s time to welcome my DEFLAME Chocolate Almond Bites into your life! These little treats are sweet, chocolatey, totally moreish and best of all – they're full of goodness.Cocoa powder nourishes heightened nervous and immune systems with much needed magnesium, zinc and selenium, while almonds are a fab source of vitamin E-a natural inflammatory antioxidant.
