If there’s one food that has been with me my whole life, it’s buckwheat. Simple, economical, and very nutritious.

When I turned 60, I started noticing fluctuations in my blood sugar levels: tiredness after eating, sudden sleepiness, and weakness. I replaced white bread and refined products with buckwheat cooked in water.

Result:

More stable energy.

Less drowsiness after meals.

Better blood sugar control.

A feeling of fullness without heaviness.

It’s rich in complex carbohydrates, fiber, magnesium, and iron.

Basic preparation:

1 cup of buckwheat to 2 cups of water. Cook over low heat for 15–20 minutes. No frying, no butter, no excess salt.

You can add a tablespoon of flaxseed oil after cooking to improve the healthy fat profile.

4. Seaweed (kelp or laminaria): Thyroid support

I first tried seaweed in my forties when I started experiencing constant fatigue and cold hands. I discovered I needed more iodine in my diet.

Benefits:

Provides natural iodine for the thyroid.

Contains B vitamins, iron, and magnesium.

Helps regulate metabolism.

Contributes to lowering cholesterol.

Promotes liver detoxification.

Important:

Avoid canned versions with vinegar and sugar. It’s better to choose rehydrated dried or frozen kelp without additives.

How to use:
1–2 tablespoons in salads, with grated carrot, beetroot, or even with buckwheat.

5. Sauerkraut or fermented cabbage: living gut health
