By Susan Newell ★ Replenish and Restore Many people understand that there is a connection between fruits and vegetables and their ability to positively impact how the mind and body function. For example, the advantages of eating vitamin-rich spinach and antioxidantfilled blueberries have been widely acclaimed and accepted. But there are also hundreds of herbs and lesserknown plants that may help replenish the mind and body and restore balance in a multitude of ways.
