Vary oils and spices
Olive oil is acclaimed for its many qualities. It helps fight bad cholesterol while its polyphenols and vitamin E preserve the arteries. However, it lacks essential omega 3.

Similarly, spices can become real allies for a healthier diet. Turmeric, curry, cinnamon, paprika, ginger, cardamom, cumin, cloves… These powders help to limit both salt and fat. In addition, they have many anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties.
