Per SmartKook e' un'esigenza mangiare in modo consapevole! Qui non ci sono medici, ne' dietologi, ma sappiamo che un'alimentazione varia fa bene alla salute: allo SmartKook potrete scegliere fra numerosi smart-ingredienti. Selezioniamo prodotti di alta qualita' e ci affidiamo a studi e ricerche scientifiche che ci insegnano come il cibo interagisce con il nostro organismo (Nutrigenomica). Noi siamo cio' che mangiamo (Ludwig Feuerbach-1804) e questo vale soprattutto nel medio-lungo periodo. Cosi' abbiamo avviato un processo di scoperta (e riscoperta) di ingredienti e di cibi che alcuni ricercatori italiani hanno definito "smart food". Ne utilizziamo un buon numero per permettere ai nostri clienti, sempre piu' esigenti e consapevoli, di costruire ogni volta un menu' diverso, personalizzato e quindi SMART! SmartKook e' Longevity Food (LF) - Protective Food (PF) - Anticancer Food (AC): - Longevity Food Recenti ricerche hanno dimostrato che le molecole contenute in alcuni cibi possono insinuarsi nell'epigenoma, o DNA, e modificarne quei tratti che influiscono sulla durata della nostra vita, perche' riescono ad attivare i geni della longevita'. In questa categoria troviamo: le Antocianine: cavoli viola, ciliegie, arance rosse, mirtilli, melanzane, patate viola/dolci, prugne nere, radicchio, uva nera, frutti di bosco la Capsaicina: peperoncino e paprika piccante la Curcumina: curcuma l' Epigallocatechingallato: te' verde e te' nero la Fisetina: cachi, fragole, alcuni tipi di mele la Quercetina: asparagi, capperi, cipolle, lattuga, cioccolato fondente il Resveratrolo: uva - Protective Food In questa categoria rientrano i cibi che aiutano a proteggere il nostro organismo da ipertensione, diabete e obesita': aglio, cereali, erbe aromatiche (basilico, origano, salvia, rosmarino, menta, timo ...), legumi, olio di oliva, olio di semi, semi oleosi (di girasole, di zucca ...), frutta fresca e verdure in genere. - AntiCancer Food Un insieme di cibi che, oltre ad essere "protettivi" per l'organismo, rallentano la proliferazione delle cellule tumorali (alcuni riducono gli stati infiammatori dove il cancro trova terreno fertile, altri ne impediscono o rallentano lo sviluppo...). Fra questi:curcuma (curcumina), zenzero (gingerolo), carota (betacarotene), mirtillo e lamponi (delfinidina), soia, trifoglio rosso, caffe' (flavonoidi, genisteina), crocifere come broccoli, cavolfiori, rucola, cime di rapa, cavolini di Bruxelles (isotiocianati), pompelmo e pomodoro (licopene), menta, ciliegie e lavanda (alcool perylill), pepe nero (piperina), limone (esperidina).
