Antonio's favorite

Antonio has been a health advisor at our St. Joseph branch since the spring of 2020. It is not easy to integrate our supermarket supermarket at a time whenù pandemic, and he rose to the challenge with flying colors. Appreciated for his personality and reliability, Antonio is passionate about natural and organic products. Today, he presents his favorite, Whey Factors whey protein from Natural Factors.

Why Whey Factors by Natural Factors?

Over the past few years, I have become aware of the impact of protein and the importance of consuming quality protein on a regular basis.

I've been experimenting with Natural Factors Whey Factors whey protein: I'm an early riser and I take it in the morning, especially if I know I'm going to have a busy day. It gives me energy for the day. Sometimes I also take them in the afternoon, around four o'clock, and that keeps me going until dinner.

What also interests me is the origin of the whey protein. When we make cheese, there is a lot of whey left over, the equivalent of 9 liters, for every 10 liters of milk used. Before, it was totally wasted... So there is this aspect of recycling and revalorization that I find important.

Lastly, it is very easy to digest. The body recognizes very easily this kind of proteins and it is well assimilated.

How do you consume these whey proteins?

I make smoothies with soy milk. I choose the vanilla flavored protein, it gives a little more creaminess and a nice taste.

What advice would you give to people interested in this product?

My advice would be to take it with meals. Beyond that, it is really digestible and you can go without fear.

Let's talk about nutrition. What is a healthy diet for you?

A healthy diet is a balance between proteins, vitamins, minerals... It means eating fresh fruit, vegetables and, above all, seasonal products. I eat strawberries in summer.

Eating healthy means taking into account the quality of the products: how they were grown, making sure that they do not contain pesticides, GMOs, or other things that would alter their nature. I naturally prefer organic products.

I'm careful with my sugar intake, not to accumulate too many empty calories unnecessarily.

Do you have a favorite meal during the day?

I would say breakfast. It's what starts the day, the nutritional needs are important.

I often make myself toast, with good bread, a drizzle of olive oil, slices of goat cheese, and when we get closer to summer, slices of tomato.

This is a time when I can chat with my wife. We eat together, we talk about various things. When we talk about balance, there is also a relational notion.

Tell us about your healthy habits. Do you have any to share?

A lot of walking, all year long. When it's a little less cold, my wife and I walk around Lake Leamy. Or we walk in the Hull area, or to the Asticou center.

I have also been doing Tai Chi for about 20 years.

Thank you Antonio for sharing your favorite place with us!
