Aldi Ireland has offered tips to help shoppers eat their way to hormone health with fresh products, making staying on track easy year-round.
Hormone health hacks have taken over on social media, and with the benefits of a healthy diet it’s no wonder everyone is looking for more balance.
January is a great time to start eating your way to hormone health, with experts agreeing that a healthy diet is the first step to maximising wellness.
Fuel With Fibre
Incorporating whole grains into your diet can help increase insulin sensitivity and stimulate the production of hormones that helps you feel full.
Johns Hopkins Medicine recommends 25 grams of fibre each day for a healthy diet, and Aldi’s affordable whole grain options make it easy to meet this goal.
This can start early with Kavanagh’s Porridge Oats (€0.99) for breakfast, carrying on to lunch with a sandwich on Soft Batch Wholegrain Ballymore Crust Bread (€1.59) and finishing up with a stir fry and Easy Cook Brown Rice (€1.19) for dinner to get your fill of fibre.
Pack In Protein
According to Healthline, protein provides essential amino acids, as well as peptide hormones which play a crucial role in regulating processes such as metabolism and appetite.
Lean proteins can support better digestion and help maintain steady energy levels more than fatty red meats, helping to maintain a positive mood throughout the day.
Aldi’s 100% Irish Bord Bia Quality Assured meats – including Butcher’s Irish Chicken Breast Fillets (from €3.29) and Butcher’s Selection Irish Turkey Breast Mince (€3.99) – make it easy to maintain a healthy and protein-rich diet that is also affordable.
Omega-3
Omega-3s in avocados, almonds and fatty fish can help lower cortisol levels during stress while supporting digestion and nutrient absorption.
Nature’s Pick Avocados (€0.99) are a simple way to boost intake, or for a snack the Foodie Market Whole Almonds (€1.79) are also an easy source of Omega-3.
To pack the nutrient into meals, Skellig Bat Fresh Salmon Fillets (€4.39) and The Fishmonger Sardines (€0.49) add a healthy twist, as well as being delicious.
Go Green
Leafy greens support healthy gut bacteria, which is essential for hormone regulation and mood enhancement, while their antioxidants reduce inflammation and aid in hormone production.
Adding greens to your diet doesn’t have to be complicated – add Nature’s Pick Spinach (€1.35) to your morning smoothies, sauté Nature’s Pick Kale (€1.29) to add to a wrap and roast Nature’s Pick Broccoli Crown (€1.59) for the perfect side dish to any dinner.
Simple, nutritious, and perfect for a January reset!
Healthy eating need not be complicated, and with a little planning ahead of each food shop, your diet can be full of nutrients.
