Leyre adores her little pup, and loves taking him for long walks. "I have a list of 10 health benefits [that] studies have shown pet owners have," says psychologist Harold Herzog, a professor at Western Carolina University. "Higher survival rates, fewer heart attacks, less loneliness, better blood pressure, better psychological well-being, lower rates of depression and stress levels, fewer doctor visits, increased self esteem, better sleep and more physical activity. [Pet owners] are more likely to be lonely, depressed and have panic attacks, more likely to have asthma, obesity, high blood pressure, gastric ulcers, migraine headaches, and use more medicine, et cetera."
One of Leyre's go-to meals is scrambled eggs with avocado. "Avocados are very high in omega 3 fatty acids, the good kind of fat, in the form of alpha-linolenic acid," says San Diego-based nutritionist Laura Flores. "Avocados have great anti-inflammatory properties."
Leyre enjoys vegetable and vegan dishes whenever possible, and is particularly fond of falafel made with zucchini. "Zucchini is rich in several different types of antioxidants which can help fight free radicals and ward off inflammation," says Stefani Sassos, MS, RDN. "Enjoy zucchini with the skin on for full nutrition benefits, as much of the nutrients are in the skin itself."
Leyre loves grain bowls with a variety of vegetable toppings. "Grains are naturally high in fiber, helping you feel full and satisfied — which makes it easier to maintain a healthy body weight," says the Mayo Clinic. "Whole grains are also linked to a lower risk of heart disease, diabetes, certain cancers and other health problems."
Leyre loves fresh fruit and vegetables, especially tomatoes, which she adds to her breakfast dishes. "Ten cherry tomatoes has almost as much potassium as a medium banana with 400 milligrams," says registered dietitian Jill Corleone. "Eating more potassium-rich foods may help lower your blood pressure. A high intake of potassium increases your body's ability to excrete sodium, helping to improve fluid balance and lessen pressure on your arteries."
