Do not mistake sardines... Of course, there are star foods, which contain an extraordinary number of good nutrients. Among these, the sardine, fresh or canned, to be consumed several times a week!

Nutritional Richness

It contains a particularly important micronutrient called coenzyme Q10. CoQ10 is essential for the proper functioning of our mitochondria, it improves our physical performance and facilitates the detoxification of the liver. It supervises energy production in our cells. We can therefore understand the importance of CoQ10, especially for athletes who have a very high usage of their heart, lungs, liver, which are organs with great needs for this coenzyme.

The sardine is also rich in omega 3 fatty acid EPA + DHA so important for the brain, the heart and inflammation, in calcium so important for our bones, in phosphorus so important for our teeth and our brain, in vitamins B2, B3, B12 and in vitamin D, which the population is often deficient in.

In addition, it is a good source of several trace elements often lacking in many athletes such as iron, but also zinc, copper and selenium which are the activators of defense enzymes against free radicals.

How to recognize its quality?

EnBoite.ch explains in a few words how to recognize a good quality canned fish:

• The olive oil must be transparent
• There should not be pieces of sardine mixed with the oil
• Towards the bone, the color should be a bit red
• The sardine must be consistent to the bite!
