Many experts warn of the harmfulness of bananas because they are rich in natural sugars, but they also speed up metabolism, regulate blood pressure...
Some foods are unfairly blamed for various health problems. If you banish them from your diet forever, you will be without ingredients that are very important for your health.
Most of the foods that are considered unhealthy in modern times are very valuable in terms of nutrition. With that in mind, and in the spirit of moderation, the British researched and broke stereotypes about some foods that are good for the body, writes the Daily Mail, as quoted by Index.
Bread and potatoes
One of the first things we give up in our desire to be slim and healthy are carbohydrates like bread or potatoes. In fact, you should pay attention to the type of bread. The whole grain one has four times more fiber than the regular one, and is often full of vitamins. Potatoes, when not deep fried in oil, are an excellent source of B vitamins, as well as potassium.
Beer and wine
It is true that alcohol is full of sugars that contribute to weight gain, but numerous studies have shown the benefit of the occasional glass. Namely, beer is a source of potassium, magnesium and selenium, while wine contains several types of vitamins from group B. Vitamins of this group are necessary for converting carbohydrates, proteins and fats into energy, as well as for their use in the restoration and building of body tissues, and as such are important for the health of the skin, hair and muscles, for a strong immune system, and for the health of the nervous system. Research has also shown that wine and beer, when consumed in moderation, can have a positive effect on preventing the risk of heart attack or stroke.
Jaja
While on the one hand it is wise to limit the intake of eggs due to the high amount of cholesterol that can block the arteries, it should be remembered that eggs are a particularly nutritious food containing at least 11 different vitamins and minerals. Also, they are rich in a large amount of quality proteins.
Banana
Many experts warn of the dangers of bananas because they are rich in natural sugars, but they are also rich in potassium, fiber and vitamins C and B6. In addition, they can be used instead of sports drinks because they speed up metabolism, regulate blood pressure, are good for the bacteria of the digestive system, can alleviate stomach ailments...
Beef
Sometimes it's hard to say no and not feel guilty when you opt for a juicy burger or patty, but in reality these foods contain high-quality protein and a form of saturated fat that suggests they're not as unhealthy as we sometimes think. Stearic acid, found in beef and pork, may reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering blood cholesterol levels.
