Natalia Velikaya, a nutritionist and nutritionist at ISIDA Clinic, has proposed a list of the top 10 products – the best helpers of beauty, vitality and health. In late winter and early spring, these gifts of nature can work real miracles!
Broccoli
Broccoli is rich in vitamins C, PP, K, U, beta-carotene, and minerals. It contains more protein than any other type of cabbage. Fiber and dietary fiber remove toxins and toxins from the body and improve appetite. Regular consumption of kale contributes to the health of the lens and retina, and tartaric acid is an excellent natural weight loss aid.
Pomegranate juice
It is recommended to dilute fresh pomegranate juice with warm water in a 1:2 ratio. The drink refreshes the complexion, increases vitality, improves the condition of hair and nails, blocks oxidative processes, and increases hemoglobin levels in the blood. Pomegranate juice goes well with carrot or beetroot juice, but it is better to drink it not separately, but after eating meat or fish dishes. In this case, its nutrients are absorbed much better.
Wheat germ and seedlings
Wheat germ is rightly called food for the heart and brain. Magnesium stabilizes the heart rhythm, normalizes the nervous system, and reduces the level of bad cholesterol in the blood. Wheat germ has a tenfold higher content of vitamins and amino acids than ungerminated grain, and surprisingly, it contains vitamin C and chlorophyll, which is essential in times of shortage of green leafy vegetables.
Wheat germ is a source of biotin and vitamin E. By adding a dozen to yogurt, muesli or porridge, you will support your immune system, ensure healthy skin and a rejuvenating effect on the entire body.
Avocado.
The fruit is rich in essential oils, vitamins B, E and F, and important trace elements such as zinc, silicon and selenium, which nourish the skin from the inside and take care of the hair. One avocado contains 3.8 mg of niacin (27% of the daily requirement), which has an anti-inflammatory effect. It is a high-calorie fruit and is good to eat in salads, with shrimp, mushrooms.
Olive oil
Olive oil is the best friend of the human digestive system! Oleic acid strengthens the walls of blood vessels, making them more elastic; linoleic acid promotes rapid wound healing, improves coordination and vision. Vitamins A, D, E, K strengthen bone tissue, regenerate the skin, improve vision, slow down the aging process and support the immune system.
Seafood
Seafood is a source of readily available proteins, fatty acids, micro- and macronutrients, and essential minerals. Shrimps contain virtually no sugars or fat, but they are great for satisfying your appetite due to their high protein content. Sea snails have a minimum of calories and a maximum of magnesium. Mussels will provide an excellent complexion, as they contain little fat and a lot of vitamin E.
All seafood is an excellent source of iodine, which we lack so much. And it is iodine that ensures the functioning of the thyroid gland, strengthens our memory and intelligence.
Kiwi contains a lot of vegetable fiber and twice as much vitamin C as an orange, which strengthens the walls of blood vessels and normalizes blood pressure. Organic acids increase bile and urine flow.
Mango.
The mango pulp is rich in beta-carotene (80% of the daily requirement in one fruit), from which vitamin A is synthesized in our body. It supports the vital activity of skin cells and restores them. Mango is considered an excellent antioxidant and an ideal food for the figure, as it contains organic acids involved in fat metabolism, dietary fiber, magnesium and iron.
Sour-milk products
Fermented milk products containing live cultures of bifidus, lacto, and acidophilus bacteria cleanse the intestines and regulate their functioning, which is extremely important for immunity, skin, general health and well-being. Bifidus kefir, symbivite, bifatonik, bifacil, bifidus, koumiss, ayran, tan, matzoh, varenets, unsweetened “live” yogurt are essential and useful for both adults and children.
Chicory
The healing properties of chicory root have long been used in folk medicine as a means of improving metabolic processes, liver, heart, blood vessels, intestines, and immune system function. Chicory is an excellent antioxidant and detoxifier. It cleanses and rejuvenates the body.
Chicory is very easy to prepare from concentrate and can be “cheated” by replacing coffee with a 100% healthy drink!
