Despite the affordable price and wide availability in stores, the sardines remain undervalued among Ukrainians. Often they are biased: they say, cheap canned food cannot be useful. However, nutritionists have a different opinion - the sardines are not only useful but also able to significantly improve their well -being.
Omega-3: heart, vessels and nerves
Sardins are one of the richest natural sources of omega-3 fatty acids. These acids help maintain normal blood pressure, reduce the level of "bad" cholesterol, purify blood vessels and improve heart function. They also have a positive effect on brain activity, reduce anxiety and promote emotional stability.
Simple protein - for all age groups
Another advantage of sardines is the high content of easily digestible protein. This makes them a great product for children, the elderly, athletes and those who adhere to diet. A small portion of sardines gives a long feeling of satiety, which is especially important when weight control.
Vitamin D source - without harm to the wallet
The sardines contain a lot of vitamin D-one of the best trace elements, especially in the autumn and winter. Vitamin D strengthens the bones, supports the immune system, and also improves overall well -being.
An alternative to salmon for a reasonable price
Although salmon is rightly considered useful fish, the sardines are almost inferior to him in composition, but costing many times less. This makes them an affordable alternative for most Ukrainian families.
How to choose the right sardines
The most important thing is to buy canned food only. It is best - in supermarkets or large stores where storage and transportation conditions are met.
