SANGRIA ALCOHOL-FREE

By: | Tags:

TIP OF THE DAY from our Nutritionist Dr. Tomás Barbosa: Peel the peaches, remove the stones, cut them in slices and place them in a jar, add other season fruits to your taste such as cherries, melon, cantaloupe, mango, papaya, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, apricots, add a lemonade you made yourself, oranges and sliced apples. Keep it in the fridge for an hour and, before serving (in a clay jug that keeps it cooler), drop some ice cubes and add stalks and mint leaves, making all the difference in aromatic terms. […]

EAT AND HEAT

By: | Tags:

When heat comes we change our food habits. Fruits and vegetables at your discretion, 2 litres of water per day to avoid dehydration, and we must preserve the cold chain, meaning the whole process from conception, through storage, to food transportation, ensuring all refrigeration conditions and assuring its preservation. Appetite is less in Summer, but never skip a meal believing that will help you to get slimmer. When we skip a meal we usually compensate eating too much the next one. Furthermore, the organism remembers having been deprived, and reacts […]

SHELLFISH – SKIP THE HEAD

By: | Tags:

TIP OF THE DAY from our Nutritionist Dr. Tomás Barbosa: Did you know that shellfish cholesterol is only stored in the head? Not only crustaceans are poor on lipids, but also cholesterol from all kinds of lobsters, crayfish and shrimps, is exclusively located in the heads, so that part shouldn’t be eaten.

PARSLEY

By: | Tags:

Parsley is extremely rich in mineral salts, in vitamin C and in antioxidant carotenes. That’s the reason why, in the past, it was rather considered a medicinal plant. Burt this richness gets really interesting when parsley is eaten in large quantities. A pinch of parsley (ca. 1 gram) does not give you much… So it is most convenient to use it as much as possible in salads, or to give more taste and beauty to your cookings, namely using it in cold soups that are ideal for this time of […]

SEAFOOD

By: | Tags:

Beach side holidays are the ideal place to make a feed cure. Seafood is an excellent source of proteins, much leaner than meat, they contain food fat acids that oppose to bad cholesterol, but also calcium, phosphorus, zinc, iode… so many minerals we rarely enough eat along the year! Oysters, for instance, are very rich in iron (excellent against anemia) and antioxidants that fight free radicals, thus preventing premature ageing. A nice dozen makes an extremely dietetic meal, as well as white fish such as grilled sardines, delicious and rich in Omega […]

GOOD AND BAD CHOLESTEROL

By: | Tags:

Total cholesterol levels are made up of three different types: High-density lipoprotein, or HDL, is considered “good” cholesterol. It makes up 20-30 percent of a person’s total cholesterol level; Low-density lipoprotein, or LDL, is considered “bad” cholesterol and makes up 60-70 percent of the total in the body; Finally, very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) is a precursor to LDL and makes up about 10-15 percent of a person’s total cholesterol. These percentages matter because when increases or decreases occur, they can affect the chances of a person developing heart disease. Many risks are associated with […]

VEGANISM AND VEGETARIANISM

By: | Tags:

Both vegetarian and vegan diets may provide health benefits, including reduced body weight, decrease cholesterol levels and the risk of cardiovascular disease. However, it is important to ensure that all essential nutrients are ingested. For example, plants do not contain vitamin B-12, so vegans and vegetarians need to consume fortified foods or take dietary supplements to make up for this lack. Call our International Call Center (+351) 21 458 85 00. There’s nothing like a complete and balanced healthful diet to control your weight and body fat, eating what you […]

CHOLESTEROL IS BOTH GOOD AND BAD

By: | Tags:

At normal levels, cholesterol is an essential substance (waxy and fat-like appearance) for the body. However, if concentrations in the blood get too high, it becomes a silent danger that puts people at risk of heart attack. Cholesterol is present in every cell of the body and has important natural functions when it comes to digesting foods, producing hormones, and generating vitamin D. Call our International Call Center (+351) 21 458 85 00 and schedule your Nutritional Consultation and Body Analysis Composition to understand and control your Body Mass Index (BMI).

AN EGG A DAY IS GOOD TO YOUR HEART

By: | Tags:

Eggs are a beneficial food on preventing heart diseases, as a new study recently published by Heart has revealed, led by a group of scientists of the universities of Beijing and Oxford who observed more than 500 thousand people. Daily consumers of an egg have dropped in 18% the risk of having a cardiovascular disease, in 26% the possibility of suffering from an AVC, and also a reduction of 25% for the risk of ischemic heart disease. This heart infirmity is due to our coronaries being somehow clogged debiting a […]
