CHICKEN VEGETABLE
MELT
Lovely! I used this as a side
dish actually, but it can definitely be a main dish as well. The addition of avocado was awesome! Avocado is higher in potassium than bananas,
did you know that? If you take zinc regularly (men often do), remember that it depletes magnesium, and if magnesium is depleted, potassium gets depleted as well. Just by increasing magnesium, potassium gets increased. Sometimes our electrolytes can get out of whack, so it is interesting to note things like this. Magnesium also helps some people with Tourette's Syndrome. Depending on the magnesium brand, it can help with regularity. Magnesium guards against osteoporosis and helps reduce migraines. Hope that helps someone out there!
