Beach and dinner
It was nice to go out walking on the beach. It was quite windy, but not so cold and we were walking for a good 30-40 minutes. I love living by the seaside, the air is so lovely to breathe.
When I came home I was rather tired, not quite sure why. I have eaten regularly today, could it possibly be the pasta, making my blood sugar drop a little too far? Anyway, made a very refreshing and healthy salad for dinner, with lots of goodness.
Quinoa, mango, cucumber, spinach and ham. The only thing on this plate that isn't very good is the ham (processed, and full of additives). Quinoa is a great food, high in protein and with a very low glycemic index, spinach is just packed with iron which helps bringing oxygen to the body, flavonoids which are anti-flammatory and decrease the risk of cancer immensly. It is also rich in vitamin K, important for keeping strong bones. And mango, I absolutely love mango. It is such a good fruit in so many ways. It protects you from most forms of cancer, help you maintain a healthy skin, healthy eyes and healthy mucus membranes (vitamin A). The potassium in mangos help keeping a good blood-pressure and heart rate, and also helps fight depression. Read more here.
Sort of a super salad, don't you think ;-)
