In the morning, eggs and yogurt; in the evening, mackerel and perilla leaves... Are there changes in muscles and blood vessels?

 

According to the National Standard Food Composition Table, 100g of mackerel pike contains 23.3g of protein, which is good for muscle maintenance. This is more than the symbol of "high protein," chicken breast (22.97g). Of course, a simple comparison isn't possible, but it's a significant amount. Pork contains 24.03g, and beef contains 15.61g. In 100g of mackerel pike, there are also 11,890mg of essential amino acids that contribute to protein formation. Two eggs contain 13.49g of protein. Eating eggs in the morning and mackerel pike for lunch or dinner means you don't have to worry about protein intake throughout the day.

 

Blue fish... helps reduce cholesterol and contributes to the prevention and alleviation of hyperlipidemia

One of the major advantages of saury is that it is a healthy blue fish. It includes mackerel, Spanish mackerel, and tuna. It contains as much as 14.64g of unsaturated fatty acids, which contribute to blood vessel health. It helps reduce 'bad' cholesterol (LDL) in the body, preventing and alleviating hyperlipidemia (dyslipidemia). When triglycerides and cholesterol accumulate in the blood vessels, it can worsen into hyperlipidemia, arteriosclerosis, and further lead to heart disease and stroke (cerebral infarction or cerebral hemorrhage).

 

 

 

Perilla leaves, pacific saury, and their synergistic effects on vascular health... Contributing to inflammation prevention and regulation

 

Since mackerel is an acidic food, it pairs well with alkaline foods such as perilla leaves. Perilla leaves also contain a high amount of unsaturated fatty acids, which can create a synergistic effect for blood vessel health when combined with mackerel. Perilla leaves are also rich in iron, helping to prevent and regulate anemia. The antioxidant compound luteolin, which reduces body oxidation (aging), contributes to the prevention and regulation of inflammation in the body. It has effects in reducing allergies and alleviating sneezing symptoms. Unique aromatic compounds such as perillaldehyde, limonene, and perillaketone help reduce the fishy smell of the fish.

 

 

 

Eating too salty may lead to excessive carbohydrate intake... Be sure to include plenty of vegetables.

 

Saury is rich in vitamin B12, which is involved in maintaining the function of our nervous system and energy production. It is commonly eaten grilled or braised. Braised dishes with various vegetables have high antioxidant effects. To maximize the health benefits of saury, it should not be prepared too salty. Eating a lot of rice with salty dishes can lead to excessive carbohydrate intake, which may be harmful to blood vessels and blood circulation. It is important to keep in mind that saury itself contains a high amount of sodium during cooking.

 

 

 

 

In the morning, eggs and yogurt... "Choose low-fat, high-calcium products"

 

Eating about two eggs a day does not need to be a concern for cholesterol (National Institute of Agricultural Sciences data). The high-quality protein in milk positively affects muscle metabolism. However, if digestion issues make it burdensome, yogurt is an alternative. By carefully examining the ingredient list and choosing low-fat, high-calcium products, it also helps maintain bone health. Yogurt rich in probiotics is good for intestinal health and bowel movements, and it helps prevent the absorption of cholesterol in the small intestine, contributing to maintaining appropriate blood cholesterol levels.
