Putting together a macro bowl for lunch or dinner is one of easiest ways to get all the goodness of foods in one sitting. It's also a great way to use up leftovers and whatever else is in the fridge and not let food go to waste, since these bowls can be assembled in endless combinations: various grains, beans, vegetables and pickled vegetables, fruit, greens, herbs, seaweeds, seeds, nuts, seafood, chicken, cheeses, etc.

What's even more glorious, though, is the combination of Udo's Oil Blend and turmeric. They are two peas in a health pod. The active ingredient in turmeric (curcumin) is fat-soluble. When taken in combination with oil, it boosts the absorption of the curcumin and its benefits. Conversely, turmeric has been shown to boost DHA in the brain, so they perfectly compliment each other. In other words, they are better together than apart. Or as Aristotle so aptly put it: The whole is greater than the sum of its parts!
