Oats, my love for them seems like a secret confession. Rich in β-glucan, it gives us long-lasting satiety and helps with weight control. The function of lowering cholesterol is something we cannot ignore. The ready-to-eat oats, raw oatmeal, and whole oats that we have at home are full of enticing charm.
Soy milk is an indispensable part of our lives. Soybeans are rich in high-quality protein and soy isoflavones, which can regulate estrogen and inhibit cholesterol absorption. For convenience, I divide and freeze the cooked beans, and when I need to drink soy milk, I simply put them in the soy milk maker, add boiling water and some nuts, and you can taste the delicious and nutritious soy milk in a few minutes.
Spinach is one of our favorite leafy greens. It is rich in lutein, β-carotene, vitamin K, and vitamin C. Whether it's for the eyes or the body, spinach has a very good effect. We usually blanch spinach in boiling water, then mix it cold or boil it in soup, and eat one or two handfuls a day to get rich nutrients.
Little cherry tomatoes have an indelible place in my heart, and the taste of lethargy makes me want to stop. It is both sour and sweet, closer to the taste of fruit, and has a lower energy and sugar content. Strawberries, kiwi and blueberries are the berries we eat at home, not only because they taste great, but they are also rich in vitamin C and other nutrients that are very helpful in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.
Walnuts have become our indispensable nut choice. Rich in α-linolenic acid and antioxidant flavonoids, we have no doubt when choosing. We buy walnuts in shell, peel them and don't heat them to preserve their nutrients.
Pork hind leg meat reigns supreme in our home because it has a lower fat content, making it easier to remove the fat from the top layer when cooking. Iron and vitamin B1 are abundant, affordable, and have no fishy smell, making them our top picks.
Eggs are one of the must-haves for breakfast every day, and the perfect combination of protein is highly usable. Our family usually chooses hard-boiled eggs, which can be boiled into custard or scrambled to enjoy.
Milk is an essential part of our breakfast in addition to eggs, and while everyone but me prefers whole milk, I choose skim milk to control my cholesterol intake.
Finally, Norwegian mackerel is one of my favorite fishes. Norwegian mackerel is rich in more DHA than salmon and is more affordable. With a simple frying, it retains its delicious taste and rich nutrients, making it addictive.
These foods all have unique nutritional values and are an integral part of our family's daily diet. They are delicious and nutritious, allowing us to eat well and stay healthy at the same time. However, when enjoying these delicacies, we should also remember to eat responsibly, maintain a balanced diet and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
