Experts shared their opinions on products that should be included in the diet, despite the negative reviews of nutritionists.
Homemade mayonnaise is considered a healthy choice, despite the general opinion about the harm of this product. To make it, you need to combine mustard, beaten egg yolks, olive oil and lemon juice, then beat all the ingredients in a blender.
While butter is known for its connection with cardiovascular disease, it also helps to increase the level of “good” cholesterol.
As for ice cream, its impact on health can be beneficial. For example, high-quality ice cream promotes healthy teeth and bones, and has a positive effect on the cardiovascular and central nervous systems.
Popcorn is only useful if it is prepared without adding flavor enhancers and flavorings. In this form, it helps cleanse the gastrointestinal tract and promotes weight loss.
Pasta and potatoes provide long-term satiety. Pizza with tomatoes helps prevent cancer and heart disease, and also provides a long-lasting feeling of satiety, as reported by the portal 74.ru.
“Indeed, mayonnaise, despite its reputation as a harmful product due to its high fat and calorie content, can be useful if it is prepared at home from high-quality ingredients,” says nutritionist Igor Strokov especially for MedikForum.
Olive oil, which is the basis of mayonnaise, contains monounsaturated fats, which have a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system. They help reduce the level of “bad” cholesterol in the blood and increase the level of “good”.
“The yolks that are part of mayonnaise are rich in proteins, vitamins A, D and E, as well as fatty acids, which are necessary for healthy skin and vision.”
Making mayonnaise at home allows you to control the amount of salt, sugar, and other additives, making it a healthier option than store-bought versions that contain preservatives and stabilizers.
“Popcorn, when prepared the right way, without adding unnecessary flavors and too much salt, can also be healthy,” confirms Strokov.
Popcorn is a whole grain that is rich in fiber, which promotes healthy digestion and helps control blood sugar. It also contains B vitamins and minerals such as magnesium and phosphorus.
Dry popcorn contains a small amount of calories, which makes it a great snack for those watching their weight.
“Popcorn contains polyphenols, which are powerful antioxidants. They help protect cells from free radical damage and improve overall heart health.”
The fiber in popcorn helps improve intestinal motility and cleanse the gastrointestinal tract.
It is important to note that the benefits of mayonnaise and popcorn greatly depend on their method of preparation and the quality of the ingredients used. Therefore, to achieve maximum benefit, it is important to consider these aspects when consuming them.
