Functional foods: Eat to live a full and healthy life!

Hello, hello...!!!!!

Today I want to talk to you about one of my passions: food. But not just any food, but functional foods, those little treasures that nature offers us to nourish our body and mind.

What are functional foods?

Functional foods are those that, in addition to providing us with basic nutrients, contain

bioactive components that provide us with specific health benefits.

These components can be vitamins, minerals, fibre, probiotics, prebiotics, antioxidants, among others.

Why are functional foods important?

Because they help us prevent disease, strengthen our immune system, improve our

digestion, reduce stress and increase our energy. In short, they help us live a fuller and

healthier life.

Healthy goals and functional foods: The perfect combination!

If you are looking to improve your health and well-being, including functional foods in

your diet is an excellent strategy. You can set goals such as:

- Increasing your intake of fruits and vegetables.

- Incorporate probiotics and prebiotics to take care of your intestinal flora.

- Consuming foods rich in antioxidants to protect your cells from oxidative damage.

- Reduce consumption of processed foods and added sug

Foods that should never be missing in your life:

Here is a list of functional foods that I recommend you to include in your daily routine:

- Fruits and vegetables: Rich in vitamins, minerals, fibre and antioxidants, try to eat at

least 3 servings a day!

- Natural yoghurt: Contains probiotics that help maintain a healthy balance in your

intestinal flora, use Greek yogurt.

- Legumes: They are an excellent source of fibre and vegetable protein.

- Nuts and seeds: They provide healthy fats, fibre, protein and antioxidants, eat them in

moderation.

- Oily fish: Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for heart and brain health.

- Green tea: Contains antioxidants that help protect your cells from oxidative damage.

- Turmeric: This spice has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Remember! Food is not only fuel, it´s medicine.

Choose foods that make you feel good inside and out. Listen to your body and enjoy

every bite - healthy eating can be delicious and fun!

Remember to always decide for your health.

Bye, bye...!!!
