It’s important to eat foods that are\u00a0safe and rich in nutrients to keep your energy levels up, your mental focus clear and your body running optimally especially during the Ramadhan period. An ingredient such as Norwegian Fjord Trout is a good example of something you can add into your meals for buka puasa and sahur as it’s high in protein, full of antioxidants, and essential omega 3 fats.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Norwegian Fjord Trout has become a popular fish of choice among Malaysians,\u201d says Mr Jon Erik Steenslid, the Norwegian Seafood Council director for South-East Asia. \u201cFrom our recent Seafood Consumer Index, an annual survey conducted by the Norwegian Seafood Council, the results show that 3 out of 4 Malaysians think it\u2019s important to know the origin of their seafood and 1 out of 2 Malaysians prefer to buy Fjord Trout from Norway.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Norwegian Fjord Trout is similar to salmon but its flesh has a deep red-orange colour with white marbling that gives the fillets a luxurious feel. Norwegian Fjord Trout has a remarkably rich flavour, with a pure aftertaste. It has a lustrous and silvery skin like salmon and grows to a weight of 2.5 kilos, which is a bit smaller than salmon.<\/p>\n

Here are 5 reasons to include the Norwegian Fjord Trout into your diet:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Eat more Norwegian Fjord Trout during Ramadan for overall well-being<\/h4>\n

During the fasting month it is important to eat foods with essential vitamins and nutrients to keep your energy levels up, your mental focus clear and your body running optimally throughout the day. Norwegian Fjord Trout is one fresh ingredient that can boost your overall health during this time.<\/p>\n

2. Protein is a must<\/h4>\n

It can be tempting to sleep in and to skip sahur or to just grab a quick convenient bite but paying close attention to what you eat during this time can make a big difference in how you feel overall. Eating protein-rich foods such as Fjord Trout will prevent hunger and tissue breakdown and will keep your mind focused till it\u2019s time to break fast.<\/p>\n

Protein is an important component of every cell in the body. It helps to build and repair tissues, make enzymes and hormones and it\u2019s the essential building block of bones, muscle, cartilage and blood. A diet high in protein will ensure you feel full and satisfied, while your body will benefit from enough building blocks to repair itself fully during Ramadhan.<\/p>\n

3. Omega 3\u2019s boost mental focus<\/h4>\n

During the fasting month it is particularly important to eat foods rich in omega-3 as this will help keep fatigue at bay and improve your concentration. Fjord Trout is high in these fatty acids which will help you stay clear-headed throughout the day and improve your mood and overall mental focus.<\/p>\n

4. Healthy fat burns belly fat<\/h4>\n

The change in meal times during the fasting period can often put the body through stress. When our stress levels go up we are more susceptible to put on weight in areas such as our belly. Consuming a diet rich in healthy fats such as the oily Fjord Trout helps to burn excess belly fat. Instead of burning the glucose stores in our body for energy, the body will burn fat instead. This will result in a slimmer and healthier overall physique.<\/p>\n

5. Promote glowing skin<\/h4>\n

During Ramadan our skin can take a beating. This is due to the change in sleep schedules along with mealtimes that no longer follow a pattern. Skin can appear dull and sallow during this period and a great way to keep that at bay is to add more Fjord Trout into your diet. Fish oils aid in cell rejuvenation and will nourish your hair, skin and nails for an overall healthy glow.<\/p>\n
