Hello and welcome to a new chapter of Mediterranean diet guide for health and weight controlin which we conclude the subject of protein bioavailability.
In the previous chapter on protein bioavailabilitywe had discovered which were the various bioavailability indicators proteinsand the most bioavailable protein foods for each indicator. Indeed, we had learned earlier in the guide Blooness the importance of proteins, which the body doesn't necessarily know how to store, and which must be constantly renewed through the diet, both for general health and for the health of tissues, skin, nails, hair and, of course, the maintenance of muscles.
This content is part of the guide Blooness, the guide to the ideal human diet, the summary of which you can find here 🌱🥑
Introduction to the audio / podcast format
The introduction to this content is accessible to all.
Now that we've listed the various indicators that measure the bioavailability of protein foods, I'd like to suggest the following draw up a final ranking of these protein foods, taking into account their "health" aspectto get a synthetic idea of what would be reasonable to consume on a more or less regular basis if we wanted to provide the most beneficial sources of protein for our bodies, while remaining healthy and as unprocessed as possible.
French-speaking subscribers will receive the newsletter in French, and all others will receive an English version.
In other words, which foods to choose if you want to optimize your energy intake proteinwhile having a low-inflammatory dietoriented towards longevitywhich amounts to mime theMediterranean diet or, more generally, the Blue Zones.
The content devoted to bioavailability should not overshadow the very essence of this guide, which is to the quest for healthy longevityand the ideal weight for health and self-esteem. The aim here is to highlight foods that are as "profitable" as possible in terms of bioavailabilityThey are the most easily absorbed and used by the body, while being the least deleterious to health, hence the importance of balancing this bioavailability with the fact that they are compatible with the diet. Mediterranean and possibly the feed ketogenic.
We often talk about balance when it comes to questions of natureIt would be illusory to think that we can always have foods that are hyper-profitable for the body, without there being any problems with their excessive consumptionor at inappropriate times.
This is why it would be reasonable to no unlimited consumptionat any time of day, and time-consuming and repetitiveThe foods that will be listed here, and any other food for that matter. Especially since, in this case, we're talking about protein foods. which are not intended to provide the majority of energy in caloric terms.
On a more general note, we have already mentioned in other sections of the guide the fact that alternate foods as much as possibleThis is to avoid overexposing the body to the same nutrients, and sometimes the same toxins.
In fact, it is wise to vary the sources as much as possible, both between these food families - and it doesn't matter if sometimes bioavailability is theoretically less good - and within these food families. The simplest example that comes to mind is to vary the choice of red and white meat cuts. But a little more ambitiously, we could also consider varying the channels and suppliers from which we source our food, so as not to overexpose ourselves to the same nutrients or sometimes the same anti-nutrients. In simple terms, don't eat the same piece of meat every day, bought from the same producer, in the same supermarket, etc...
In addition to bioavailability and the a priori healthy aspect of the food in question, we also need to ask ourselves about the chosen feed chainThis is because certain farming methods can promote inflammation. This issue of supply chains and food sourcing will be discussed in detail in part 4 of the Mediterranean dietwhich will be dedicated to best animal and marine products.
To return to our ranking of the most bioavailable protein foodsIf we take the various indicators and wish to synthesize information as efficiently as possible, Here's a list of the most bioavailable and healthiest foods.in order of effectiveness and health benefits:
