A Simple, Stomach-Friendly Meal Idea
Putting this all together doesn’t have to be complicated. A healthy diet is built one meal at a time. Here is an example of a simple, delicious, and protective lunch:
Mediterranean Salmon and Quinoa Bowl
Start with a base of cooked quinoa, a wonderful whole grain. Top it with a 4-ounce fillet of baked salmon, seasoned with lemon, dill, and a pinch of black pepper. Add a generous handful of fresh spinach, some chopped cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and a few chickpeas. For a creamy dressing, mix a little plain Greek yogurt with a squeeze of lemon juice and some fresh herbs. This meal is packed with anti-inflammatory omega-3s, fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, and it contains none of the high-risk ingredients we’ve discussed.
