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.

Basic Healthy Grilling Tips

1.  Cube or slice meat into smaller portions to speed cook time, SIZE MATTERS.  Or, you can use a quick-cooking option such as shrimp or fish for your meat.

2.  The faster foods are cooked, the less likely they are to develop dangerous charring.  THE SHORTER THE COOK TIME, THE BETTER.

3.  Move your food to a cooler part of the grill while flare ups simmer.

4.  Reduce your exposure to carcinogenic compounds.  GRILL SOMETHING OTHER THAN MEAT. Opt for low or no-protein peaches, plums, tomatoes, eggplant, corn or breads.

5.  You want to avoid burning but not rip the meat apart.  FLIP AT THE RIGHT TIME. Give it a gentle tug; its ready to flip when it comes loose without pulling.

6.  Keep your grill rack spick-and-span to prevent other bits from causing flare-ups.  CLEAN THAT GRILLING MACHINE!!
