Cheese, chocolate and cocoa, which make up the diet of Coco Chanel fashion models, are rich in trace elements and can improve performance. Olga Tsareva, doctor of naturopathy and preventive medicine, spoke about this in a conversation with socialbites.ca. According to the doctor, Chanel retained her beauty and youth thanks to her love for fish and caviar. Today, fans of the great French fashion designer celebrate her 140th birthday.
“I have a feeling that Koko knows all about balanced nutrition and the energy that can be obtained from food. Fish and caviar are sources of protein and essential amino acids. It contains folic acid, vitamin D, A and other important trace elements. For example, caviar is easily absorbed by the body and can give energy throughout the day. With the systematic intake of caviar, all metabolic processes are accelerated and the breakdown of fats begins. But the oatmeal, which Koko loved to eat in the morning, was a source of carbohydrates for her. Only greens and fiber are missing in the whole diet, ”said Tsareva.
Chanel also paid special attention to the weight and health of her models. Girls who did not fit their size were allowed to eat a piece of hard cheese and a slice of dark chocolate several times a day, and sometimes drink a glass of cocoa diluted with water. But Tsareva said this kind of minimalism shouldn’t be intimidating.
“Besides cheese, protein and fat, the amino acid tryptophan, which affects our mood and is very important, especially when on a restrictive diet. Chocolate is a source of magnesium, potassium, zinc, iron, phosphorus and copper. All these trace elements are important for the prevention of cardiovascular disease. Chocolate reduces stress, improves mood, increases productivity,” said the doctor.
He also stressed that chocolate should be bitter and contain no sugar. Only without sugar, the models were allowed to drink cocoa.
“Cocoa is the best source of ubiquinol. The strongest antioxidant protects the youth of the skin, prevents calcification, protects nerve cells. An important feature of cocoa is energy production in the mitochondria (the little powerhouse of our cells). And it’s quite understandable that cocoa is only allowed to be drunk on water. Milk does not contribute to weight loss, on the contrary, it can lead to weight gain, swelling, skin rashes,” Tsareva said.
