eat healthier

Although I can find it only salted for now, I’m happy that I discovered this tasty nut. I barely use salt in any meal, and I hope that I can get them without it somewhere.
“Cashew nuts are significant sources of iron (essential for red blood cell function and enzyme activity), magnesium (promotes energy release and bone growth), phosphorus (builds bones and teeth), zinc (essential to digestion and metabolism) and selenium (has important antioxidant properties, thus protecting the body from cancer).”
“Not only do cashews have a lower fat content than most other nuts, approximately 65% of their fat is unsaturated fatty acids, plus 90% of this unsaturated fatty acid content is oleic acid, the same heart-healthy monounsaturated fat found in olive oil. Studies show that oleic acid promotes good cardiovascular health, even in individuals with diabetes.”

Although I enjoy food in student cafeteria, I really miss fish. It is served rarely, I only ate it twice in three months. Luckily, I can buy it prepared and cooked here, just a few streets away.
I’ll try to eat hake fillets more often. Here’s what Wikipedia says about it:
Hake fillet is an excellent source of protein which makes digestion easier and is also high in Omega-3. Based on the fact that Omega-3 is not manufactured by the body, consumption of hake fillet or any other hake fish products is considered to be an essential component.
Scientists have proved that consumption of hake fish at regular interval in a meal decreases the risk of getting heart attack than those who don’t. Hake fish contains also a high amount of vitamin B12 and vitamin B6 which are essential for human body.

Since I put this goal on my list, I hardly made any progress. But now my father’s blood analysis showed high level of cholesterol, so he he’s working on reducing it. This means that even my mom changed the way she cooks (less cooking oil, brown bread, more fish, less sugar etc.). And this is the closest to achieving this goal I will ever be, it seems. :(
