THREE QUESTIONS, THE ANSWERS OF THREE EXPERTS
I often eat outside the home for lunch. What can I allow myself?
If you work and have a break of an hour, choose a sandwich (wholemeal, rye or cereal) stuffed with a lean salami (cooked or raw ham deprived of visible fat, bresaola, turkey breast) or with fish (tuna, mackerel, natural salmon) or even with ricotta, always accompanied with a "real" portion of vegetables (not with two simple lettuce leaves or two slices of tomato).
If you prefer salads, be careful not to increase the protein load: for example, take a mixed salad with mozzarella or, alternatively, with meat, always combined with a portion of carbohydrates (sandwich or packet of crackers).
Prefer, if possible, foods to be seasoned, and not ready and cooked, to avoid an excess of fat. The rule of measuring extra virgin olive oil with a spoon also applies to the bar. As a snack to be consumed in the office, yes to a fresh fruit of the season, a fruit salad or a low-fat yogurt. One last tip: try to drink plenty of water to purify yourself.
Is it better with fish and cannellini beans whole or in pieces?
Laurel is an aromatic plant of which there are about 70 species. The one used in cooking in the Mediterranean area is Laurus nobilis. It has digestive and soothing properties, stimulates appetite, counteracts weakness, lowers fever, calms and relaxes.
In the juice of the leaves there is a small percentage of hydrocyanic acid, but the toxicity is felt after taking 2 grams, equal to 5-6 leaves, and personally I think all the pesticides used in agriculture do more harm. However, since the hydrocyanic acid is released more easily if we chop the bay leaf, for safety it is better to use the whole leaves, which in this month's diet we propose to give more flavor to hake and boiled cannellini bean salad.
Do packaged salads have the same nutrients as fresh salads?
The nutritional value of fresh salads lies above all in their content of vitamins (in particular C, of ​​group B and carotenes), in the richness of mineral salts (such as calcium, potassium, magnesium) and in the supply of fibers.
In the case of ready-made ones, so-called "fourth range" to distinguish them from "untreated" vegetables (first range), canned ones (second range), third range ones (frozen) and fifth range ones (pre-cooked packaged ), this nutritional richness is maintained well thanks to the fact that modern production techniques allow the vegetables to be processed immediately after harvesting, then carrying out the cutting, washing and packaging phases quickly to guarantee maximum freshness.
What is important, however, is to keep the bags cold, once purchased, and consume the salads by the expiration date (preferably a couple of days before the deadline indicated), letting them aerate a little but avoiding rewashing them before serve them. It is useless and risks ruining the leaves.
