Basil

Whether you love Italian cuisine or not, you’ve probably come across this herb in pesto or tomato sauce. BASIL is rich in beta-carotene, shown to improve night vision and keep skin healthy. This herb also contains potent phenolic compounds, such as gallic and phytic acid, helping to decrease oxidative damage in your cells. Interestingly, research in mice also suggests that basil consumption may lower the risk of alcoholic liver disease by reducing lipid peroxidation (the oxidative degradation of lipids).
