Let’s see what the benefits are of some of the most common ingredients found in Mexican food:
Black beans offer many of the benefits of meat, including a high iron content, without the disadvantages of fat. Their fibers regulate both intestinal transit, cholesterol and blood sugar.
Corn contains many trace elements, minerals and vitamins such as vitamin B (which is 2-3 times higher than in the rest of the vegetables), vitamin C, magnesium, zinc or iron. Corn is proving very beneficial to the nervous and muscular balance. This grain is also one the most antioxidant !
Often singled out because of their high fat content, avocados are actually a good source of vitamin E and a powerful antioxidant. The avocado has a a high level of unsaturated fatty acids, that support the proper functioning of the cardiovascular system and blood circulation in the body. It is therefore a much better energy asset than that of most other fresh fruit !
