Health and fertility benefits of Arugula Pesto
Nuts are a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity. Basil is an excellent stress reliever, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Ingredients
1 basil sprig, leaves only
1/2 tablespoon toasted pine nuts
1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
