A diet rich in antioxidants can help reduce oxidative processes, which occur in our body on a regular basis and cause cell destruction and aging processes. In the daily menu of the people of the blue regions you can find foods rich in antioxidants, such as vegetables and fruits, herbs, grains, legumes, nuts, almonds and seeds. In Sardinia and Ikaria, the menu also includes quality fats such as olive oil and fish. Lib offers for example the following recipe, which combines the benefits of salmon and avocado.
The avocado has earned the nickname “multivitamin from nature” because it is one of the rare fruits that contain almost all the variety of vitamins and minerals our body needs in a day. It is rich in vitamin E, folic acid, potassium, B vitamins, and vitamin K, and unsaturated fatty acids and plant phytosterols. It is also an excellent solution for sick people who have no appetite, because it is dense in energy, and therefore even a small amount of it can provide possible deficiencies, improve immune capacity and strengthen it.
Salmon is one of the fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids (as well as halibut, sardines and mackerel), which have been found to reduce the risk of heart disease, among other things, by lowering blood pressure and triglyceride levels.
