It is sometimes said that he is the shoemaker with the worst shoes. Fortunately, this mantra does not apply to all professions! Health journalist for several years, there isn’t a day that goes by without me giving you nutrition adviceunder the watchful eye of our committee of expert nutritionists.
A fan of intermittent fasting, I now have better eating habits and I am all the better for it.
By sharing with you all the scientific studies which prove to us that the contents of our plate will really influence the state of our health, I surprised myself by making best choices during my shopping. Overview of the 6 foods I eat every week. (Don’t worry, this list is not exhaustive!)
Quinoa
It contains approximately 15% of proteins and constitutes a significant fiber contribution, which allows it to be considered as a food for preventing heart disease. Quinoa normalizes glucose, insulin and cholesterol levels. Thanks to his fibers, it traps part of the sugar and fat from the meal and limits absorption. It is one of the foods with a low glycemic index, which makes it a real slimming ally. Do you find quinoa lacking in taste? Enjoy it in a salad with vegetables and a cheese that you like and add your favorite spices!
Olive oil
Olive oil is your health ally because of its richness in Omega 3, monounsaturated fatty acids. Their consumption is associated with a reduced risk of heart disease and a reduction in the level of bad LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) in the blood.
Zucchini
Zucchini is a vegetable diureticlow in calories and rich in fibers. It also brings potassium beneficial for muscles and blood pressure.
Eggs
Very rich in proteins, the egg is a food that takes a long time to be digested by the stomach and which provides a satiety effect for several hours. Eggs also have benefits for the cardiovascular system. Particularly rich in calciumthey are also a good weapon against osteoporosis.
The salmon
Rich in vitamin B and Dsalmon is also a source of iron and of magnesium. Considered an oily fish, it mainly contains polyunsaturated fatty acids Omega 3, whose benefits on heart health are widely recognized. It is recommended to consume salmon once a week.
Chocolate
I’ve always loved chocolate and just because I started intermittent fasting doesn’t mean things have changed. Thanks to flavonoids it contains, chocolate reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke. As long as you favor chocolate and consume it in moderation. In case of stress, let yourself be tempted by a square. It will help you regulate the rise in cortisol, the stress hormone.
