Did you know that in folk medicine today, the elderberry is widely considered one of the world’s most healing plants?

This is because both the flowers and berries of an elder plant are packed full of antioxidants and vitamins, helping to boost the immune system.

When it comes to remedying common ailments or illnesses, the elderberry seems to help with just about everything, including:

• lessening stress
• joint and muscle pain
• headaches
• minor skin conditions
• stress management
• heart conditions
• easing constipation
• kidney problems

If you’re wondering how you can boost your intake of elderberries, our suggestion is to try to include the ingredient in at least one beverage or meal each week (bonus points if you can consume it even more!).

That’s why we’ve rounded up the top 21 elderberry recipes, featuring everything from breakfast, lunch, and dinner, to snacks and dessert!

Please note: It’s important to remember that elderberry stems, leaves, and unripe berries are toxic. Be cautious when using elderberries you have picked yourself. Always cook them before consumption or opt for store-bought, edible elderberries if you’re unsure.

• Assisting with the treatment of erectile dysfunction
• Boosting the immune system

Not to be confused with rockmelon or cantaloupe, the papaya is a vibrant orange fruit which grows in tropical climates. It is also referred to as papaw or pawpaw and is most well-known for its extremely rich vitamin C content.

Along with vitamin C, the fruit also contains high amounts of fiber, antioxidants, vitamin A, vitamin E, phytonutrients, and flavonoids.

As you can imagine, papaya offers numerous health benefits when eaten regularly, such as lowering cholesterol, aiding weight loss, boosting immunity, preventing degenerating vision, protecting against arthritis, improving digestion, easing menstrual pain, reducing the risk of colon and prostate cancer, combating stress, and preventing various signs of aging.

If you’re looking to take advantage of the benefits of this tasty fruit by increasing your weekly intake of it, then you’re in luck.

We’ve rounded up the top 15 papaya recipes to give you several options for a papaya-based breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert. Let’s get started!

Once upon a time, you might have only associated collagen with something injected into your face or lips, but now, all of that is changing.

You only need to scroll through Pinterest or stroll along the aisles of your local pharmacy to realize that collagen supplements are huge, and for plenty of good reasons too.

You see, collagen is responsible for several biological functions in mammals, including providing structural support in connective tissue, muscle, and skin.

It also plays a role in joint and bone health, but is perhaps most known for its assistance with skin elasticity.

If you already know that the human body creates collagen naturally (and it’s one of our most plentiful proteins), then you may be wondering: why exactly would we want to boost our collagen intake through food?

The answer is simple: Over time, our production of collagen slows down, resulting in a lack of skin elasticity (i.e. wrinkles), the breakdown of joints, loss of muscle mass, weakened bones, and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

This is why many have started purchasing collagen supplements in powder form to add to some of their favorite meals – including desserts.

Ready to jump on this (delicious) bandwagon? We’ve rounded up the top 17 dessert recipes containing – you guessed it – collagen. Enjoy!
