"Feeling good, full of energy"... 4 special treats that bring changes to the mind and body

Eating food properly allows fat to be burned, resulting in maintaining a slim body.

Eating delicious food also improves your mood.

 

 

Based on materials from American health and medical media outlets such as 'Health,' I researched foods that differently affect the mind and body.

 

Although mostly Western cuisine, these are easy to cook and enjoy in our country, making them a delightful treat during this season when the heat and monsoon can be exhausting.

 

Mediterranean-style salad that "cleanses toxins from the body"

Mix minari, artichoke, celery, red onion, and feta cheese with cucumber vinaigrette.

 

Cucumbers contain vitamin C and chlorogenic acid, which help reduce swelling.

 

Minari and artichoke contain diuretic ingredients that help reduce swelling.

 

Artichoke is also a natural food containing inulin, a water-soluble dietary fiber.

 

The salt and potassium in celery help regulate the concentration of body fluids.

 

A Mediterranean-style salad contains only 170 calories and 11g of fat per serving. It helps to wash out toxins and reduce swelling.

 

'Feel-good' salmon sandwich=

 

Place the pan-fried salmon on whole wheat bread, drizzle with walnuts, spinach, and Italian pesto sauce, then serve with red chicory.

 

Salmon is rich in mood-boosting omega-3 fatty acids, and spinach is full of magnesium.

 

Magnesium relaxes muscles and lowers blood pressure. Additionally, walnuts are a natural food rich in melatonin, which helps you sleep well at night.

 

The salmon sandwich contains only 420 calories but is packed with 35 grams of heart-healthy fatty acids, making you feel sufficiently relaxed and happy.

 

'Fat-burning' Blackberry-Banana Smoothie = Mix bananas and blackberries with a light coconut drink, low-fat yogurt, a little lemon, and honey.

 

Blackberries actually contain a lot of fiber, which helps you feel full and aids in weight loss.

 

Bananas contain resistant starch, which functions like fiber and helps with satiety while aiding in weight loss.

 

Unripe bananas contain more resistant starch.

 

 

The oil contained in coconut fruit helps to eliminate abdominal fat, and yogurt, along with other dairy products, contains the highest amount of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which reduces body fat.

 

Blackberry-banana smoothie contains only 250 calories, with just 5g of fat, and enhances the body's fat-burning ability.

 

Stir-fried dishes that strengthen the body

 

Stir-fry the beef with pepper, asparagus, ginger, soy sauce, lime juice, and brown rice, then top with cashew nuts. Asparagus provides plenty of vitamin E, which boosts estrogen and testosterone levels.

 

Zinc found in beef also increases testosterone secretion. Brown rice also boasts zinc that boosts desire, and contains slowly digesting carbohydrates that help sustain energy.

 

Cashew nuts are considered a natural aphrodisiac.
