We have already talked a lot about salmon, one of the blue fish based on our Box Lunch, so today we will take a moment to talk about another of the star ingredients of our deliveries: flaxseed. Flaxseed is a seed that has uses ranging from the construction industry to cosmetics, going for food.
The use of flaxseed has increased recently as they have highlighted the great benefits of including it in food, as it is an excellent source of fiber that can help the best function of the digestive tract, the regulation of levels Blood glucose and blood pressure, as well as being one of the best sources of omega 3 fatty acids of very easy assimilation. There are several ways to include flaxseed in the diet, such as liquefying them with some liquid and making drinkable preparations, grinding and adding it as part of any other dish, or adding whole seeds to salads and foods in general, though not at all. People are working this last presentation because they do not always manage to digest them and thus take advantage of its benefits. The best benefits are obtained by grinding it just before consuming it, since the oils obtained from the flax when grinding it oxidize fast, and can begin to lose their properties if left to stand. In our Box Lunch we include the best ingredients for the best use of the nutrients, both for their natural properties and for their combinations to achieve maximum benefits, with an incomparable flavor.

We have already talked on several occasions about how important it is to give children quality food, variety and in sufficient quantities at the time they are in school, just at lunch time, but what we should provide to them?
If children receive foods full of saturated fats, simple carbohydrates and sugars, they will probably not have the best results. What if we give them cucumbers with lemon, jams and carrots? Well, although it is not bad, neither will be provided a complete structure. A nutritious, sufficient and varied menu should include protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals, and of course some fat (not all fat is bad knowing how to select and use it). That's why at Club Omega Tree we have created a series of menus so that children can receive all the best in their food during school hours, in the right portions, and in amounts calculated to have the best use in the whole physical, mental and emotional way, and with the ease of not having to think about the preparation, the variety, and even the cleaning of the containers. We take care of it. Club Omega Tree, nutrition seriously. In the market there are many brands and options that offer to be a supplement of the Omega 3 fatty acids, that can come in presentation of capsules and with different origins as cod liver oil, krill, etc. Is it convenient to purchase these supplements as part of a diet with deficiencies of Omega 3? Several studies have found that the right combination of DHA and EPA fatty acids can prevent a range of heart disease, reduce depression, improve overall brain performance, and many other health benefits in general, in a daily intake of between 900 milligrams to 2 grams a day in the adult population, and from 400 to 850 milligrams daily in children to achieve maximum benefits.
Now, in order to obtain these quantities of Omega 3 - and most importantly, to be absorbed and taken advantage of in the best way by the organism -, it must be consumed from highly assimilable sources like Salmon, which will help a rapid absorption of the fatty acids by the organism and will be better utilized in the general system. Another option may be supplements, but it must be taken into account that these must be of high quality, with the appropriate balance between DHA and EPA, and contain the minimum milligrams necessary to be able to have some of the benefit of their consumption, As well as (preferably) from sustainable and renewable sources. So, can Omega 3 supplements replace the consumption of foods rich in these fatty acids? The logical answer is no, since in addition to the capsules will have to be combined with a diet with complementary and balanced ingredients to achieve a favorable result, as well as the profit factor may be different. It is a matter of putting the cost / benefit / disposition perspective. At Club Omega Tree we offer the best combinations of natural ingredients of the highest quality to achieve the best use of them through our Box Lunch, promoting the physical, mental and emotional health of our customers. The debate and the controversy have long existed if breakfast really is the most important food that can be made during the day. If analyzed a little, the human body may take more than 8 hours since receiving the last food, and that is in the case that the person has eaten something before bed. So, why does it become common to avoid breakfast, or to eat unhealthy foods in the morning? Among the rush and stress, many of the children do not have time to consume their food before going to school, or in a hurry they are not hungry as they are more concerned about taking the homework and arriving on time before the school doors get closed. The reality is that it is the children who should have a better breakfast every morning, since their bodies are in the full stage of physical, mental and emotional development, which requires that their body receive the best nutrients, in quantities and just portions that are needed, from high quality and easily absorbed proteins, fibers, vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates and fats, which in a balanced consumption will help an excellent development. A child who has not eaten correctly or who does not receive quality food at lunchtime will probably be a child who has poor school performance, which can in many cases build up insulin resistance, and can be much more susceptible to eating disproportionate amounts of food at mealtimes that may cause him to decompensate. At Omega Tree Club we are fully committed to our customers to offer the best nutritious, healthy and delicious foods for children to move away from both obesity and malnutrition through our Box Lunches. During the last 3 decades, the frequency of obesity has tripled among people between the ages of 6 and 19, and malnutrition continues to be more prevalent in the country. Mexico boasts the world's No. 1 honorable undisputed childhood obesity and the world's second largest obesity place in adults, just behind our neighbors in the U.S. Although malnutrition is more present in rural areas and more commonly in the south of the country, and childhood obesity in the northern part of the republic, this does not mean that there are no children who are obese and malnourished, and much of it comes from The bad eating habits that are learned from an early age at home. It is to be mentioned that childhood obesity brings to the lives of children. Risk factors for multiple chronic diseases, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels and blood glucose levels are related to obesity. Schools have a shared responsibility with parents to help prevent obesity, promote physical activity and healthy eating through healthy and nutritious policies, practices, supportive environments and options that help children get What your body in physical and mental development needs, in the recommended amounts, and with the best quality ingredients. At Omega Tree Club we are fully committed to our customers to offer the best nutritious, healthy and delicious foods for children to move away from both obesity and malnutrition through our Box Lunches. The Tour de France is one of the most demanding cycling events in the world, and among competitors Chris Froome, now considered the best cyclist in the world. Of course behind Chris Froome there is a whole team, the best providers of devices and bikes, training for hours, and many other elements that help this athlete to reach the best places and times, and within it is their food. Chris Froome shared a photo of what he had for breakfast, which shows the type of food that a very high performance person consumes during competitions, with a low sugar menu but high in protein and healthy fats like avocado that provides Carbohydrates as an immediate energy source, eggs from which you will get both protein and fat, and of course salmon that will give that fuel to the cells of your muscles by the amount of high quality protein as well as the fatty acids it contains. With the same food bases, in the Club Omega Tree we create the combinations of our dishes that we deliver day by day, fresh and created by hand, in order to provide the best balance so that our customers always receive the best foods of the highest quality , And with the levels of fats, proteins and Omega 3 fatty acids that will help you reach the top in both school, work and sports.
When we have the opportunity to know our customers' own voice about their experiences, results, and the change in their children or in themselves when consuming our products, we can not but thank that we are in this way, seeing in the flesh that what we do makes more sense than just providing food. Thank you very much to Mrs. Rebeca Martínez for this testimony. Today we are very proud and honored to be able to share in this blog our first testimonial video, which expresses firsthand the experience in the substantial improvement in the behavior, health and well-being of one of our clients and friends. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do, and many thanks to Ms. Ariadna Tavares for your time and attention. Depression is undoubtedly one of the great sufferings that, if present in children, is difficult to diagnose, either because of the confusion of parents with other symptoms or because of the children's lack of emotional maturity and inexperience in expressing the what they feel; Therefore, it is very important to know that it is estimated that 3% of children in the world may become depressed, whether due to problems in school, family problems, divorce, loss of family, etc.
To date there are many studies that associate the consumption of Omega 3 fatty acids with the substantial improvement in the effects of depression in both children and adults. Fatty acids such as Omega 3 help nerve cells have a healthy membrane, which helps to better assimilate the nutrients in the blood, and better transmission of pulses and electrical messages between them. It is then that the relationship between the consumption of Omega 3 and the better assimilation of serotonin - a chemical that is a neurotransmitter that regulates various systems in the body - becomes relevant. Although it would be risky to say that with only the consumption of Omega 3 can eliminate the depression, a feeding with the sufficient quantities of these fatty acids have been shown to be an effective adjuvant in the treatment of this condition, as well as in its prevention in children , Adolescents and adults, and our studies have revealed results as early as the third week of consumption of our nutritional lunches based on Omega 3. As you may notice, Omega 3 is not only an essential element in good cognitive development, but a good ally in the prevention and treatment of conditions that may be present in our children. At Club Omega Tree we provide food prepared by professional chefs who are responsible for providing the best sources of Omega 3 in our service Lunches for children, with ingredients of the highest quality. Within the options to provide the Omega 3 fatty acids in the daily diet you can think of different sources, some natural, some processed, some as additions to the foods that we consume daily as enrichment factors, but is it the same to consume a type of Source than the other?
Of course not. It is not the same to consume a processed food, that an extract of a component in a capsule, that another enriched food, to the best source that is the natural one and that provides the best way that the body can take advantage in almost all the Benefits of its elements. It is well known that fish have very easily digestible proteins as well as essential amino acids and hence their high nutritional value, with the quality of also providing minerals such as potassium, iron, iodine and calcium, among others, but there is a notable difference between the amounts of Omega 3 fatty acids in meat depending on a variety of fish according to how it is that accumulate fat in its body. White fish, that is to say those that are leaner and whose fat content in the meat does not exceed 2.5% but that the fat accumulates in the liver of the same, against those denominated blue fish, that are those that its content of fat can reach up to 10%, which accumulates it under the skin and in the flesh. These blue fish provide a wealth of polyunsaturated fatty acids that are the best sources of Omega 3 for the body, and a very natural and complete assimilation. At Club Omega Tree we have the best selection of Salmon, one of the best quality blue fish with the best flavor, so that our clients always get the best benefits with our daily dishes. |
