The amino acid methionine, which is essential for the body, cannot be produced independently.
However, a deficiency of this substance can lead to a number of serious health problems.
The disturbances can be very different. For example, swelling may appear or hair may start to fall out. In addition, there is a possibility of sleep problems, the risk of developing atherosclerosis increases, and allergic reactions may also appear.
Therefore, you should add to your diet foods that help replenish reserves of this important substance.
This statement was made by nutritionist Elvira Beleva.
As the specialist noted, it is necessary to add classic yogurt and beans to the menu; sesame, pumpkin and sunflower seeds will not be superfluous.
Nuts are also important. Pay special attention to cashews, pistachios or Brazil nuts.
"There is a lot of methionine in beef, lamb, turkey, chicken, pork. It is also found in parmesan and hard-boiled eggs," Moscow 24 quotes the doctor as saying.
