PROPERTIES.
YOGURT
Yogurt is a product that is derived from milk and has type
A and D vitamins, calcium and proteins of a high biological value.
It is important for children, adolescents, pregnant
women and women that are going through menopause to have, as it is one of the
foods that contribute to the stabilisation of the intestinal flora or ‘Microbiota’.
STRAWBERRIES AND BLACKBERRIES
The properties of these fruits, which are commonly
categorised as part of the fruits of the forest, are abundant. The qualities
they possess include, their richness in antioxidants, mainly flavonoids, which contribute
to the prevention of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. They also help to
delay cognitive decline, Alzheimer’s and Dementia. They are rich in fibre and
minerals such as Potassium and Magnesium as well as type C vitamins, which
contribute to the increment of our defences.
KIWI
It is very important for its high levels of Vitamin C,
which as we have previously stated, contributes to a strong immune system.
Kiwi is very rich in fibre and it is a great ally in
the prevention of constipation.
BANANA
It contains an abundant quantity of Potassium and
Magnesium, which are both needed in order to have good muscular contraction and
healthy blood pressure. It is rich in Vitamin C, Folic Acid and contains high
levels of Fibre, which is very good for our Microbionta, especially inulin,
which helps to prevent cancer.
WALNUTS
They are essential to the functioning of our nervous
system as they contain high levels of Vitamins B6, B3 and tryptophan. They also
help to prevent cardiovascular disease as they contain Omega 3s, Potassium and
Magnesium.
Yogurt with fruits and nuts can be an alternative as a desert as it contains foods that should always be present within our diets.
