Ready to try the MMAXOUT Challenge

So why is it called the Sardine Diet?

You’ve heard Bruce talking about this all over the gym.

People look at him (usually with disgust) and think….SERIOUSLY???…Sardines?

Well, here are the facts!!  So, choose for yourself if sardines are worth it….

Nutrition
Sardines are loaded with nutrients such as vitamins and minerals that are vital for overall well being. Besides being an important protein source, sardines contain high amount of other nutritional elements given below:

Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids: These nutrients play a crucial role in protecting the heart from various diseases. These unsaturated fatty acids help to increase good cholesterol, lower high blood pressure, as well as prevent formation of blood clots, which has been often linked to heart attacks. Omega 3 essential fatty acids help to improve skin texture and prevents wrinkle formation, thereby keeping the beauty of the skin intact for years to come.

Vitamin D: Sardines are rich in vitamin D, which helps to absorb calcium. In other words, vitamin D is very essential to maintain healthy blood calcium levels that form the basis for proper bone growth.

Vitamin B12: For a healthy nervous system, intake of vitamin B12 is very much essential. Sufficient intake of vitamin B12 boosts energy levels. Your body needs to absorb vitamin B12 to produce healthy blood cells.

Calcium: The calcium in sardines work to keep the bones healthy. In order to maximize bone strength, along with exercise, sufficient calcium intake is equally important. Calcium deficiency is the main reason behind development of bone diseases such as osteoporosis.

Phosphorus: Sardines are one of the few foods rich in phosphorus. This is one of the sardines health benefits that cannot be neglected. Phosphorus maximizes the kidney’s ability to excrete waste properly. Also, for normal teeth and bone formation, it is essential to eat phosphorus sources such as sardines.

Weight Control
An added advantage of sardines is that they are low in calories, which means, they can be always included in a weight control diet. Intake of sardines can help to increase consumption of omega 3 fatty acids which boosts metabolic rate, necessary for weight loss. Carb-conscious dieters wanting to cut weight, will definitely benefit from sardines diet.

Are Canned Sardines Healthy?

Today, canned sardines available in the market are a great natural source of omega 3 fatty acids. Those wanting to munch a healthy snack can buy canned sardines. Sardines that come with olive oil or tomato sauce is a healthy way to satiate your hunger pangs. These portable foods are a blessing in disguise for the busy working class. If you are on the look out for a healthy heart fish, convenient to prepare and eat, buying canned sardines are the best option.

On the whole, sardines are good for the joints, skin and even memory. Sardines health benefits clearly indicate why it is necessary to include them in your diet. The nutritional value of sardines is what makes them an indispensable part of a healthy diet, something that is all the more reason we should consume this delicious fish. So if you were actually wondering, are sardines healthy for you, now you know better.
