Nopal
Cactus is one of the national symbols of Mexico This plant is part of Aztec mythology considered plant life because it never dies, because if you dry it can give life to another. They are rich in fiber and vitamins, especially A, C and K as well as riboflavin and vitamin B6 also contain minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and copper. December is a time when the holidays because we eat too much and obviously, we gain weight, the cactus is also used for weight control and reduction of sugar in the body.
