Nutritionists say that familiar, easy-to-find foods bring significant benefits to the body.
First of all, it is necessary to mention roasted peanuts, a cheap dish but rich in plant protein, unsaturated fats and resveratrol, a compound with antioxidant effects, protecting the liver from damage. Boiled corn or unsweetened roasted corn is also a smart choice: rich in fiber, helping the digestive system work smoothly, while supporting the elimination of toxins, reducing the burden on the liver and kidneys.
Another rustic dish is pumpkin seeds. Not only does it contain zinc and magnesium, which are good for the immune system, pumpkin seeds also contain cucurbitacin, an active ingredient that has been shown to help protect liver cells and support kidney function effectively. Cheap prices and easy to preserve make pumpkin seeds a convenient snack for many families.
Seafood is also a good snack. Guava, oranges, and apples are popular but rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which help reduce inflammation and support liver function. In particular, bananas are rich in potassium, which helps balance electrolytes and reduce pressure on the kidneys.
According to Dr. David Friedman, a US-based nutritionist: Without the need for expensive foods, many popular nuts and fruits can act as a natural shield for the liver and kidneys, if supplemented regularly and reasonably.
Importantly, experts recommend limiting the processing of too much fat, salt or sugar in these snacks. Eating just enough, combined with drinking a lot of water and maintaining gentle exercise will help the body absorb the maximum benefits of popular, familiar foods.
