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.

Sardines Are Good for Cardiovascular Health, Memory, Joints, Skin and Energy Level

Sardines, a tiny, sleek and silvery canned fish, are one of the few foods that contain Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), a nutrient found the body’s cells. In a nutshell, it’s believed to have antioxidant properties and is said to enhance physical energy. Studies have also found that CoQ10 benefits those with cardiovascular diseases, particularly hypertension and congestive heart failure. In addition to CoQ10, these little nutritional powerhouses are also ample sources of vitamin B12, selenium, omega-3 oils, protein, phosphorus and vitamin D.

Some folks have long been aware of the health benefits of eating sardines. In a 1984 issue of the Town & Country magazine, James Villas wrote an article entitled “The Unsung Sardine” in which he said that “ounce for ounce, sardines provide more calcium and phosphorus than milk, more protein than steak, more potassium than bananas, and more iron than cooked spinach.”

Today, a growing number of health care providers and nutritional experts are consistently touting the benefits of CoQ10, omega-3 oils, selenium, and vitamins B12 and D when it comes to cardiovascular health, memory, joints, skin and energy levels.

So go out and get your sardines, packed in WATER and watch your waistline melt away…

MMAXOUT TIP

TRY THIS FOR YOUR NEXT TRIP TO THE GROCERY STORE

  • Fresh vegetables and fruits should make up the largest part of your healthy foods grocery list. Vegetables and fruits have vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and they are usually low in calories. We all need at least five or more servings of vegetables and fruits every day. Choose a variety of fruits and vegetables that everyone in your family will enjoy.
  • Most of your grain and cereal products should be made from whole grains, not from refined flours. This part of your list includes whole grain breads, whole grain pastas, and whole grain breakfast cereals. Whole grains are important for vitamins, minerals, and for fiber, which is often lacking in modern diets. Read labels to look for 100% whole-grain or 100% whole-wheat to be sure you are getting whole grain products.
  • Your protein and meat choices should consist mostly of fish, poultry and lean meats. Eggs, nuts, seeds and legumes are also good protein choices. Choose fresh and frozen unbreaded meats and fish. Avoid breaded, deep-fried convenience foods that you put in the oven. They are high in fats and sodium.
  • Beverages should be kept simple. Water, low-fat milk, juices and herbal teas are all good choices. If you opt for soft drinks, choose diet sodas and soft drinks to avoid extra sugar.
  • Dairy products should include low-fat milk, yogurt and cheese. If you do not want cows’ milk, choose soy and rice beverages, calcium-fortified orange juice, or goats’ milks and cheese.
  • Be careful with dressings, cooking oils and condiments. They are sneaky sources of refined sugar and poor quality oils. Read labels to choose dressings made with olive oil, canola oil or walnut oil. Choose low-fat mayonnaise for your sandwiches and choose canola oil and olive oil for cooking.
  • Frozen foods are a convenient way to keep vegetables on hand. There are also prepared meals that you can pop into the microwave or oven. These can be convenient and healthy if you choose low fat versions with good portion sizes. Read labels and chose frozen foods wisely. Avoid frozen pizzas, pocket-sandwiches, deep-fried appetizers, and breaded foods.
  • Foods in cans and jars are also very convenient. Look for low-sodium soups, vegetables and sauces. Avoid high-fat gravies and high-calorie foods like canned spaghetti and ravioli products.
  • For sandwiches, choose peanut butter or other nut butters, low-fat turkey slices or sliced roast beef. Avoid processed lunch meats, sausages and hot dogs.
  • Don’t load up on high calorie treats and desserts. Choose fresh fruits, healthy nuts, seeds and whole grain crackers for snacks.

One of our members Christine, who lost 50 pounds working out at MMAXOUT was talking to a friend who trains at a gym and Christine asked hows your workout going. Her friend stated well I first started by running the treadmill for 40 minutes and then I went and did some ab workouts. Really I use to do a similar routine at the gym until I joined MMAXOUT.

Her friend then ask Christine so what kind of workout are you doing, Christine answered with smile and said well I started by doing sledge hammers hitting a huge tire to work my abs and shoulders, then did hill sprints for 10 laps, went into the MMAXOUT center did kickboxing for 20 minutes for a full body workout then we did some ploymetrics to strengthen the whole body plus we ended with full body stretches. Christine then stated I GOT MMAXOUT 🙂
