Unlike other leafy greens, rocket (aka arugula) is a not only high in folate which supports healthy cell repair, tells the body which genes to turn on or off (methylation), and reduces the cardiovascular inflammatory substance homocysteine, but it is also part of the brassica family of vegetables (= cruciferous vegetables), which support free radical quenching and the liver's ability of a protective hormone breakdown & its capacity to get rid of environmental toxins like plastics, chemicals and heavy metals.
Walnuts pack in the plant-based precursor to the anti-inflammatory, cardiovascular and brain protective omega 3s DHA and EPA, called alpha linolenic acid (ALA), along with plenty of omega 6s (its omega 3:6 ration is roughly 1:4), protein and minerals like zinc and selenium. Please note that the body is not very well equipped to convert the plant-based precursor ALA into EPA and DHA, which is especially true for people with a genetic mutation (SNP) in a gene called FADS2. However, research suggests that ALA itself may have plenty of protective properties, and as such is a great addition to include into a wholefoods and nourishing lifestyle.
