Daily nutrition not only provides energy but also acts as a "shield" to protect the body from the attack of free radicals.
Strawberries
The anthocyanin content in strawberries is an important factor in protecting cardiovascular health. This fruit is also a source of polyphenols, which help limit the amount of sugar sticking to teeth to form plaque, and at the same time, fight against bacteria that cause tooth decay and gum disease.
Carrot
Eating a lot of carotenoids - the orange and yellow pigments in carrots - brings a radiant and fresh look to the skin. In addition, carrots also contain luteolin, a flavonoid that has anti-inflammatory effects, thereby helping to prevent cognitive decline.
Green tea
For a fresh breath, you can try a cup of tea. Unsweetened green tea can help prevent bad breath thanks to its polyphenol antioxidants, which help kill the growth of odor-causing bacteria.
In addition, green tea also contains many powerful antioxidants that help reduce inflammation and prevent dangerous diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, cancer and stroke.
Tofu (tofu)
Tofu and other soy products such as young soybeans and soy milk can help conserve collagen to firm the skin because they are rich in isoflavones. At the same time, the abundant protein source in tofu also supports reducing "bad" cholesterol (LDL cholesterol) levels and reducing total cholesterol in the blood.
Salmon
A deficiency of DHA fatty acids can cause macular degeneration (AMD). Therefore, try to eat more fatty fish such as salmon. Not stopping there, shellfish such as oysters and crabs also provide abundant zinc - another nutrient found in the retina that helps protect against AMD.
In particular, omega-3 fatty acids in salmon and other fatty fish also alter mood-related chemicals in the brain, specifically dopamine and serotonin. Low serotonin levels are closely related to depression, so supplementing salmon will help improve mood effectively.
