No need to introduce it. In some time, Jimmy Mohamed has made a name for himself and it is almost impossible for you not to have come across one of his videos on social networks at least once. It must be said that the doctor is followed by more than a million people on Instagram, and almost two million on TikTok. He is thus one of the most famous doctors in the French audiovisual landscape, where he joined the show The Health Mag (France 5). In addition to the screens, Jimmy Mohamed also gives his tips and valuable advice in his books, notably Zero constraints to stay young (ed. Flammarion). If he revealed how he could hope to gain thirteen years of life expectancy, he also revealed the superpowers of the sardine.
“It is certainly the most underestimated fish and should be an integral part of our diet.admet Jimmy Mohamed. This not very sexy little fish is nevertheless a major health ally that we should consume very regularly.” He is even able to state that the latter should be consumed daily. “Do you know the slogan 'Five fruits and vegetables a day'? I would certainly add: 'And a portion of sardines!'“, says Jimmy Mohamed. A revelation he had during a trip to Portugal.
Jimmy Mohamed: what are the benefits of sardines for our body?
It is indeed a food rich in vitamins and proteins. And in front of the large number of his patients who ask him if they can start a vitamin treatment (zinc, magnesium or even vitamin C), the doctor, father of three children born from his love affair with his wife Souailla, writes that he would be very inclined to advise them to take a sardine cure. Fish is rich in potassium, magnesium, zinc, iron, taurine, arginine and other nutrients that help modulate the level of inflammation and oxidative stress. Finally, the central bone of the sardine is rich in calcium. It contains the same number of proteins as in chicken. If these proteins are essential for the production of muscles, they also have a role in the renewal of skin appendages (nails, hair), and are also in the production of antibodies.
In this passage dedicated to sardines, Jimmy Mohamed recalls the high content of omega-3 such as EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), as in all fatty fish. “Remember that 60% of our brain mass is fatty acid and most of these fatty acids are omega-3“, reminds the scientist. “For a good dose of protein, omega-3, nutrients strengthening your cardiovascular system and your brain, bet on sardines”, concludes Jimmy Mohamed.
