Jennifer Aniston’s fitness secrets… Quinoa salad, beauty and fitness recipe

The famous American actress Jennifer Aniston, the heroine of the legendary series “Friends”, continues her commitment to a healthy and balanced lifestyle, which makes it seem as if time has not touched her, despite her age of fifty-six.

In her latest interviews, Aniston revealed her “secret” food that she relies on to maintain her fitness and fresh skin: quinoa salad.

Aniston prefers to eat this salad during travel or long filming periods, as it combines benefits with delicious taste.
Her recipe is based on quinoa cooked with chickpeas, pistachios, feta cheese, mint and parsley, and served with a simple lemon vinaigrette.

Quinoa is one of the most prominent ingredients rich in complete plant protein, as it contains all nine essential amino acids, is gluten-free and rich in fibre, minerals and vitamins.
Nutrition experts confirm that the protein contained in it helps control appetite, while fiber contributes to enhancing digestion, intestinal health, and weight management.

The benefits of quinoa do not stop at losing weight only, but also extend to improving the health of the skin and the nervous system thanks to it containing vitamins A and B2, in addition to iron, antioxidants, and omega-3 acids that support heart health.
Its low glycemic index also makes it an ideal choice for diabetics.

Aniston believes that beauty begins from within, saying in previous statements: “What we eat reflects on our skin, our mood, and our health. I am not looking for a harsh diet, but rather a permanent balance.”
Thus, it seems that the secret of the Hollywood star’s youth is not in plastic surgery or expensive products, but rather in a simple salad dish made from grains and plants.
