Are you fed up with the meals they offer you on airplanes? If you have a planned trip and you feel uncomfortable flying with a bad diet, this is your post! We will give simple and healthy ideas, so you can take your own lunch box and enjoy a nice flight without feeling heavy. Eat your own food on a plane It’s possible! The regulation states that if you travel both inside and outside Europe there are NO restrictions when it comes to uploading food to the plane, only liquids or certain restrictions of the airline itself are prohibited. The points that must be considered when choosing our lunch box are: 1. It is a biological issue that costs us more to notice the sweet, acidic, salty and bitter flavors, with which we will have to think of an aromatic recipe with the power of flavors. This fact has been investigated by the Fraunhofer Institute of Construction Physics IBP, concluding that ‘salt is perceived between 20% and 30% less intense and sugar between 15% and 20%’. 2. Aircraft cabins are usually very dry places and there is a chance of becoming dehydrated. So, in addition to drinking water regularly during the flight, we will look for a recipe that gives us extra hydration. 3. In addition, body gases expand and contract due to changes in air pressure in the cabin, which can cause pain and discomfort. For this reason we will try to do without the consumption of flatulent foods such as artichokes, vegetables from the family of cabbages, legumes. A healthy, satisfying and nutritious receipt: Homemade egg and vegetable sandwich Ingredients: 1. Sandwich bread (60-80gr): The carbohydrate of the bread will provide us with the energy and satiety necessary to sustain the flight hours. In addition, if we choose a type of bread based on cereals or seeds we will provide the necessary extra flavor. 2. Scrambled egg (1 or 2 eggs): For many years the egg has been associated with increased blood cholesterol, but recent publications have shown that this is not the case. The egg gives us high quality protein in a few calories, exactly 80Kcal per unit, in addition to other beneficial nutrients such as choline, iron or zinc. 3. Vegetable filling: cucumber, lettuce, natural tomato (free amount), extra virgin olive oil. These vegetables are not flatulent, and we will end up adding volume to the sandwich with which we will have more satiety and the necessary hydration point. The extra virgin olive oil will enhance the flavor and gives juiciness to the sandwich. This recipe also has the advantage that it is easy to transport, of course! Keep in mind that all the food you bring must go through the X-ray machine, so never use aluminum foil. We can complement the lunch box with healthy snacks, since it is better to make frequent and less volume intakes than a very copious one, for example: – Tomato juice– Banana– Hummus with baby carrot– Natural dried fruit Have a nice trip!

Spanish wines still get a lot of attention thanks to the fact that Spain is still considered one of the largest wine exporters in the world. Aside from the fact that Spanish wines are some of the finest in the world, it is also saleable to the market because of its competitive price. That is why, nowadays, more distributors and even wine enthusiasts are wanting to venture into distributing wines. However, even if you are an experienced distributor or a restaurant who wants to import bulk Spanish wines, or for personal consumption, you should know that it is quite lengthy and complicated task to importing wines from Spain, but also very worth it. Here, we curate the most important things that you should do before calling your Spanish wine exporter. Taxes and duties first As you know, wine is an alcoholic beverage and tax-wise, this can be quiet challenging. You have to pay an Excise duty if you are a distributor. The price depends on the percentage of alcohol of the Spanish wines you are importing as well as the quantity, among other factors. It is wise that you check first the taxes of your Spanish wines before acquiring since it will affect the profit efficiency of your importation. Moreover, check the types of shipping documents you need, before ordering freight to avoid fines and taxes. Take note: if you are ordering for personal consumption, the first 90 litres should be tax and duty-free but still, depending on the alcohol content. Organize your inventory and storage If you are a distributor, most likely, your wine shipments will arrive with a lot of batch numbers or rotation. It is important that you have your own reference number on each batch including (and most importantly) the dates. Everybody knows that wine can be improved in flavour and value with age, however, it can also deteriorate if not stored in an adequate place. Store your wines in a place where you can control the temperature. Wines are in fragile bottles, thus it is important that you choose the right packaging for your Spanish wines to ensure that your wines arrive intact. One great way to transport your wine is to securely pack it on a pallet and moved with a forklift. Pallets are more stable and secure compared to boxes. Qualify your supplier It’s not hard to look for a Spanish wine supplier knowing that it is one of the most exported wines nowadays. However, finding a trusted supplier is a different story. Before choosing your supplier, qualify them first. A good Spanish wine exporter should be also expert in their field. Partnering with an expert in Spanish wines will help you as a client as well. Moreover, it is better to have a Spanish wine supplier that can deal with various customers. For example, L&P Global is a well-known Spanish wine exporter that supplies wines with a private label from distributors to restaurants and even event organizers. This way, you know that they are flexible and can easily adjust regardless of what kind of customer they are dealing with. These tips are just an overview but are really helpful especially to those who are newbies and a great reminder to those who are already in the industry for quite some time. Always choose your supply partner wisely, it won’t be easy, but it will sure be worth it.

Coronary Artery Disease or CAD is the leading cause of death in European countries and the United States, and recently, there is an alarming rise in the mortality rate in most developing countries, with stroke being the leading cause of long-term disabilities. Cancer is the second deadliest disease, accounting for 8.8 million deaths in the world. Approximately 70% of deaths from cancer are from developing and underdeveloped countries. The facts mentioned above are among the top three most deadly diseases in the world. Unsurprisingly, poor diet and unhealthy lifestyle choices like excessive drinking of alcohol and smoking tobacco are the primary reasons to obtain chronic diseases. However, Spain’s very own olive oil and wine have made an impact to make the world a healthier place. The role of olive oil Long before the hype on salads and a plant-based diet, olive oil had already proven its worth when it comes to a healthy diet. At present times, scientists are promoting the use of extra virgin olive oil to reduce the risk of cancer and lower the rate of cholesterol level. According to studies, at least three tablespoons a day is enough to prevent chronic disease as well as help with weight loss. Another study on people who switched to a Mediterranean diet which consists of olive oil, nuts, beans, fruits, vegetables, and wine revealed that they are more likely to reduce the risk of chronic disease by about 30 percent. The role of wine Drinking wine, specifically, red wine is said to fight to aging, improve memory, reduce the risk of having a heart disease, and promote eye health. Nonetheless, we still ask as to how exactly it contributes to our health. Recently, The Spanish Ageing Research Network found a direct connection between melatonin and long life. Red wine is known to have high melatonin, a compound that can delay oxidative loss in the body and inflammable developments, a characteristic that explains old age.Aside from delaying the aging process, it can also prevent age-related illnesses such as Parkinson’s Disease and diabetes. Another compound called procyanidins which can be found in red wine helps promote cardiovascular health. The role of L&P Global Being a Spanish wine exporter and industrial olive oil supplier, L&P Global’s advocacy is to promote a balanced diet using our natural products alongside a healthy lifestyle.That is why we make sure that we only distribute products that are pro-health like authentic extra virgin olive oil and Spanish wines. We believe that through our service, we can also spread our vission to others and contribute to promoting a healthy lifestyle to our clients, and to the rest of the world.

The increasing demand for olive oil around the world has also spurred illegal activities in the industry. From counterfeited oils to mislabelled extra virgin olive oil, the market is becoming a place of olive oil mishap and we cannot blame the consumers and importers for being extra careful in purchasing the product famously labelled as ‘liquid gold.’ Being a Spanish olive oil supplier for more than 30 years, we learned a lot of industry pointers especially in dealing with fraudulence relating to our products. That is why we want to share with you some important tips when purchasing bulk olive oil. Years in the industry How long has your supplier been in the olive oil business? Building a good reputation takes years, and you should feel comfortable in dealing with a supplier who has been in the business for quite some time. As you know the market changes a lot and is quite unpredictable as well. Having a supplier who already earned their expertise in projecting price and supply trends is a great advantage on your part. Reliability and trustworthiness Choose a supplier that has a dedicated team. You can know this by observing how they respond to your queries and if they go extra mile for you. There is nothing better than working with a company that is willing to help and assist you. Producer of quality oil The most important part. How will you know if you are receiving authentic olive oil? More often than not, olive oil supplier who is also an olive oil producer can deliver high quality of olive oil. This is why it is a great advantage on your end if you get your olive oil from a producer. And with regards to quality assurance, ask for a copy of their certificates. Are their products kosher and halal certified? The standard manufacturing certificates should also include ISF, ISO, and HACCP.On top of that, you can also reduce overall cost given the absence of additional taxes and profit margins from the middlemen. On the other hand, purchasing directly from the producer may require buying a larger quantity. If you can’t do this, for now, our advice is to countercheck the producer of your supplier. These are the general guidelines on how to choose a trustworthy olive oil supplier. And as a responsible buyer, please take time to learn about olive oil grades and qualities. Feel free to ask questions, and take time to visit the facility of your supplier if you can. For sure they are more than welcome to tour you around.

Doing a good planning at the time of shopping is important to help us fill our refrigerators with healthy and versatile food, therefore we can follow more easily a balanced diet. This is recommended by the Spanish Society of Dietetics and Food Sciences (SEDCA) in its recommendations for food, where it is considered essential to make a good shopping list! In this post we will see what foods should be written on this list and are essential for this summer. VARIETY and BALANCE are two key words in the concept of healthy diet. We all need a sufficiently varied diet that guarantees an adequate nutritional contribution given that there is no single food that has all necessary nutrition. It is important that on our summer shopping list there are healthy foods from all groups. Training foods Protein foods that allow us to grow, develop and maintain the structures of our body: muscles, viscera, bones … Within this group it is recommended to eat more meats than fats, buy fish, eggs and don’t forget dairy products (yogurt, milk, fresh cheeses) and nuts. It should also include in our list source of vegetable protein such as legumes (peas, chickpeas, lentils …), which in summer can be added to salads to make a fresh and healthy dish. Energy food They provide the necessary ‘fuel’ for all our daily activities: work, study, rest, digest food, etc. We talk about carbohydrates and fats. For this type of food, the list should include pasta, rice or preferably whole grain bread and quality fats such as virgin olive oil or extra virgin olive oil, which will be the perfect complement to dress our salads. Regulatory foods Make our body conveniently use the rest of the food: the trainers and the energetics. Without the regulators, our metabolism would not work properly. They are fruits and vegetables. Here it is essential to take varied and seasonal foods. We recommend you always have a tupper with watermelon or cut melon in the fridge, which is refreshing and moisturizing, as well as cherries or peaches to go biting in the middle of the morning or for a snack. The quintessential summer vegetables are tomatoes and fresh vegetables such as cucumber, zucchini, lettuce … with which we can make both cold creams (gazpacho, melon soup, courgette cream, cucumber cream and yogurt …) and salads all. Una receta recipe With all these breaths we will elaborate super nutritious and refreshing recipes for the whole family, next let´s see an example of salad that combine the 3 groups of foods, which you can get different nutrition in just one dish: Fruity Lentil Salad with Tuna. Ingredients for 4 people: • 300g Cooked lentils• 1 large tomato• 1 Carrot• 1 Purple onion• 1 small cucumber• Lettuce leaves• 8 strawberries• 2 cans of tuna naturally• Extra Virgin Olive Oil• Salt and vinegar to taste To start we wash all the vegetables and strawberries. Peel the carrot, onion and cucumber.Next, we chop all the vegetables and the diced strawberries and the julienne lettuce. We mix the ingredients. Drain the lentils and tuna well and mix them with the rest of the ingredients.Finally, season with the extra virgin olive oil to provide healthy fat to the salad and an a good Mediterranean flavor!

Right now, people are doing their best to achieve a healthy lifestyle, starting with their food. And when we talk about healthy diet, olive oil is never absent. The health benefits of olive oil have made it renowned since early Greek, even the founder of medicine, Hippocrates called it “the great healer” and legendary poet Homer dubbed it as “golden liquid” Olive oil is an ancient Mediterranean food and is a staple of the Mediterranean diet, because two of the largest olive oil producer came from Spain and Italy. But the question is: is there any difference between the two? Or are we just caught in the middle of the competition between Spanish olive oil suppliers and Italian olive oil suppliers? Let’s find out. Color There are few factors why olive oil comes in various shades. First is the climate, which is also the main difference between Spain and Italy. Italy has a mild climate all year round, while Spain is on the sunniest side of Europe. Nonetheless, the color does not guarantee the quality of the oil. Aroma and flavor Once you open your olive oil bottle, you should smell the scent of fresh olives, because if not, then perhaps that is not an olive oil at all. Here’s where you notice another difference between the two varieties. A Spanish olive oil has a nutty and rich fruity taste while Italian olive oils have a hint of herbal tang and have a grassy flavor. Components Olive oil is known for its health benefits, but is it possible that one variety is healthier than the other? One of the components that make an olive oil healthy is Cycloartenol. Cycloartenol is a known steroid alcohol or sterol that helps reduce the amount of cholesterol that is moving through your body. This also lowers the acidity and increases the excretion of bile in your body. According to Dimitrios Boskou, author of Olive Oil: Chemistry and Technology, Italian virgin oil has a higher level of cycloartenol compared to Spanish virgin olive oil. There are also other studies that claim the same. Spanish or Italian olive oil Olive oils, regardless of where they come from are mixed and sold in the bottle. Most Spanish olive oil supplier deliver their products to Italy for blending and packaging. This is because Italy could not meet the increasing demands of the oil in the world and right now, Spain still holds the largest olive producer in the world. Spanish or Italian, as long as you buy only the premium quality of olive oil, you’re doing your health a favor.

Spain is the home of prime quality gastronomy products such as fruits, wine, oils, and meat. That being said, Spanish food flagships are being produced in a Protected Designations of Origin or DOP, and this includes Spanish Olive oil. A Mediterranean staple, the Spanish olive oil is considered the healthiest oil because of its antioxidants and good fat components. A Spanish kitchen is not complete without Spanish olive oil. And since Spain holds the largest Spanish olive supplier in the world, it is unsurprising to know that Spanish people hold the second highest life expectancy in Europe. Pets love spanish olive oil too It is already known that Spanish olive oil gives plenty of health benefits, right? But did you know that it is beneficial for our pets too? A study shows that olive oils can enhance their brain and joint health. Additionally, it can boost their immune system; prevent cardiovascular disease and even cancer and diabetes. Dogs and cats that are already in their senior years can have 5-10 drops a day. And just like humans, Spanish olive oil can also make our pets look healthier on the outside. It can improve the health of their fur, keep their bones strong and minimize weight gain. Ketogenic diet benefits Speaking of weight, you might have heard the new diet trend this year: the ketogenic diet. Ketogenic has made rounds in social media and news because of its unusual way of losing weight –consume more fat, fewer carbohydrates. The idea is that our body is using carbohydrates to convert energy. In ketogenic, since you consume fewer carbohydrates your body will look for another source of energy, in this case, the stored fat.It sounds so simple, and many have tried but only a few succeeded. Why? Fat consumption does not mean you just intake whatever fat you can find – not minding its source. A study shows that consuming only 20 percent of saturated fat while the rest are polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat is the best way to do a ketogenic diet.Spanish olive oil offers the essential fat you needed like monounsaturated fat, saturated fat, omega-6, and omega-3. Spanish olive oil can fight depression Olive oil is indeed a superfood. A new study shows that aside from physical health benefits, olive oil can also help in combatting depression. They discovered that the more you intake olive oil and polyunsaturated fats, the less likely you’ll get depressed. They also found out that cardiovascular disease and depression may have the same contrivances related to diet. Spanish olive oil as superfood Nowadays, what we consume does not only affect our physical health but also our overall lifestyle. Imagine, even our pets need dieting to avoid being overweight. Indeed, diet is only as good when we are mindful of what we consume.
