In menopause, foods that slow down aging and help blood vessel health are especially good. This is because if estrogen (female hormone) disappears, the risk of vascular disease (stroke, heart disease) increases. What changes will the combination of strawberries and salmon that come out regardless of the season change the body these days? Unexpectedly, it has a synergy effect on blood vessel health.
"Picetin," which slows aging and is good for brain health, is a powerful flavonoid component (an antioxidant). Among fruits and vegetables, strawberries are the most common. Pisetin can help prevent-relieving aging-related diseases by activating senolytic compounds that destroy cells that promote aging. It also contributes to improving cognitive and memory by increasing glutathione levels in the brain to reduce brain damage or inflammation and strengthening brain cell functions.
Among the nutrients contained in salmon, omega-3 fatty acids (unsaturated fatty acids) such as EPA and DHA are drawing the most attention. It helps to prevent-regulate arteriosclerosis by clearing cloudy blood and preventing it from worsening to stroke (brain hemorrhage-brain infarction) and heart disease (nervous-myocardial infarction) where blood vessels are clogged due to accumulation of triglycerides and cholesterol. In particular, EPA contributes to the prevention of thrombogenesis.
Strawberries were used not only for food but also for medicine. This is because methylsalicylic acid in strawberries has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects that suppress inflammation. Elastic acid also reduces inflammation and inhibits the destruction of collagen in the skin by ultraviolet rays. Salmon's omega-3 fatty acids are also good for reducing inflammation, so eating them with strawberries can create synergy.
Let's make strawberry + salmon salad for nutritional snacks. For one person, 10 strawberries, 200g of smoked salmon, and young leaf vegetables or other vegetables are added. The process of making is simple. Wash strawberries and wrap smoked salmon in strawberries. You can just put it on a plate and eat it together more comfortably. Nutrients per serving include protein (g) 12.3, vitamin C (mg) 46.4, calcium (mg) 24.4 potassium (mg) 205.7, and are also rich in dietary fiber and batamine E.
Vitamin C in strawberries is involved in fatigue recovery and waste discharge, and potassium and iron have the effect of stabilizing the nervous system. Salmon has a lot of protein that is good for muscles, and vitamin B2-B6 helps absorb protein. These days, the price of food ingredients has risen a lot, so I have to spend money for my health. Natural food is safer and more efficient than factory-made supplements.
