En la cocina con la doctora Arponen

It could be said that in our society we eat above our means in terms of quantity, but often below them in terms of quality. We get sick partly because of what we eat and what we don't eat. And it is that the more information we have, it seems that we know less what to eat. A poor diet is behind many of the diseases we suffer from: cancer, cardiovascular pathologies, metabolic diseases such as diabetes... What we eat influences the functioning of our immune system, brain health, the intestine or the processes of aging. A good diet is prevention and treatment: "May food be your medicine". Sari Arponen, an expert in lifestyle medicine and microbiota, explains in this book basic concepts of food such as macro and micronutrients or nutritional density , summarizes the existing diets and analyzes what the healthiest have in common. In addition, she shares the recipes that she prepares and consumes herself. Easy to make and without strange techniques or ingredients. Each recipe provides information about what type of diet it is suitable for (low FODMAP, low carb, vegetarian, dairy-free, paleo...) and the reasons why the dish is beneficial for your body. All the recipes are gluten-free and without added sugars, and in general, low or moderate in glycemic load; there is little dairy (and very little casein). Ingredient substitutions are proposed for various intolerances and preferences. An eating pattern based on real food, good for the microbiota, which gives the immune system elements for optimal function and helps slow down aging. Enjoy and take care eating!
