Feeling swollen and moody during Cancer Season?

Eat this salad to get rid of water retention and get some calm.

Full of magnesium and potassium rich foods, bitter herbs and vegetables and diuretics (help you excrete excess water).

Cooled boiled/steamed potatoes can also calm your tummy if you’ve been experiencing discomfort or bloating (a common annoyance during Cancer season and full moon events).

Feel free to add some tuna, boiled eggs, salmon, chicken or some activated + cooked chickpeas for protein.

Also goes really nicely with sunflower or pumpkin seeds 😋
