SARDINEs
Sea superfood
Did you know that half of a sardine provides the recommended daily amount of Omega-3?
But there is so much more, because this silvery minnow also contains so much more when consumed whole.
SARDINES …
MAKE HAPPINESS
Sardine is among the foods with the highest content of tyrosine, an amino acid used by the body to build norepinephrine and dopamine, which boosts energy and helps proper mental tone.
Omega 3 and beyond
Sardines are rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats that improve cholesterol profile and reduce blood triglycerides. They have antiarrhythmic action for the heart by reducing thrombotic risk and make the skin glow.
Lots of vitamins
Sardines are rich in vitamins B3 and B12. The former intervenes in carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolisms and is good for the skin. B12 is essential in the formation of red blood cells. 100g meets an adult’s daily requirement.
Friends of sportsmen and women
Sardines contain protein of high biological value, that is, they have an excellent composition of essential amino acids. They are therefore an excellent food for athletes, especially after physical activity, the elderly and children.
Calcium, phosphorus & co
The simultaneous presence of calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D make sardines one of the most useful foods for those suffering from osteoarticular problems, and since bones are formed up to age 25, they are also essential for children and adolescents.
IODINE AND SELENIUM
Sardines contain a lot of selenium, which is valuable for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland and is responsible for the activation of thyroid hormones. This action is enhanced by the simultaneous presence of iodine, which aids their formation.
Stronger bones
Sardines are an excellent source of vitamin D: 200 grams fully meet an adult’s requirements. Important for bone health, vitamin D is useful for those suffering from osteoarticular problems.
