ER doctors give tips on foods from their diets that are practical, but manage to give you energy and keep you going. In addition, these options have high nutritional value, which makes them healthy, check out:
1. Nuts
Nuts are protein-rich foods that are less harmful to the environment than animal meat. The biggest problem with walnuts is their high caloric value, making it necessary to eat them in moderation.
Also, too much saturated fat in your diet can raise your LDL (bad cholesterol) level, which is linked to heart disease and stroke.
2. Humus
This food created in Arab cuisine has chickpeas as its main ingredient, a leguminous plant rich in fiber and protein. And unlike nuts, it has high levels of unsaturated fat, which raises HDL (good cholesterol).
Studies have already shown that chickpeas help to prevent heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some types of cancer.
3. Vegetables
Although not many people's favorites, vegetables are very important. Options like carrots, broccoli and cauliflower are rich in fiber and vitamins, being good options to eat raw or cooked, with a pleasant texture and a very high nutritional value.
4. Avocado
Avocados have a high list of essential nutrients such as monounsaturated fats, carotenoids, potassium and fiber. Therefore, they are a good option to eat with a pinch of salt or in the form of a smoothie.
5. Olive
Olives are a practical and delicious option, rich in oils with monounsaturated fat. According to a study, regular consumption of this type of fat reduces the risk of death from heart and vascular diseases.
Be careful with their use, as olives are preserved in solutions rich in salt, which can raise blood pressure if consumed without moderation.
6. Boiled eggs
Boiled eggs are a great snack option, rich in protein and vitamins. You can prepare several eggs at once and eat them little by little, making it a practical and nutritious option.
