A proper lunch will contribute to the future, doctors assure.
Longevity enthusiasts — not all, but many — can boast certain dietary habits. EatingWell dietitians unanimously agreed that one possible dish that may contribute to a longer life is avocado stuffed with salmon.
Fats Keep Everything in Check
One of the main reasons for premature aging is chronic inflammation. Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce the activity of inflammatory mediators.
Additionally, the brain is primarily composed of fats and requires a continuous supply of omega-3s. Fatty acids support neuron membranes and cognitive functions.
Avocado is More Than Just a Fruit
Avocado adds vitamin E to healthy fats — an antioxidant that protects brain cells from oxidative stress.
For the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K to be absorbed, the body again requires healthy fats. Thus, avocado and salmon complement each other perfectly.
Muscles in Good Shape
After the age of 30, people begin to gradually lose some muscle mass. Complete protein from salmon and Greek yogurt, which can be added to the filling, helps to slow down and even reverse this process.
A protein-rich lunch stabilizes glucose levels, provides lasting satiety, and supplies the body with building materials for muscles.
How to Prepare Stuffed Avocado
Halved avocados without pits are slightly hollowed out to create boats. The flesh is then mixed with:
lightly salted, boiled or baked salmon;
dressing (yogurt, sour cream, mustard, honey);
herbs;
eggs and other additions to taste.
The filling is placed in the halves of the fruit. Cheese, nuts, seeds, onions — anything you like — can be added on top.
As an alternative, you can try avocado with beets or shrimp.
