 Lettuce for all of us long ago it seems most diet food. Is it so? Dispelling the most important myths.
MYTH 1.
Just Salad!
In the usual salad with dressing "ranch" is contained 490 calories and 41 grams of fat. In general, it is even more than the average Royal cheeseburger with bacon (360 calories, 18 grams of fat). Calorie some salads reaches 1300 calories and fat content therein is 72 grams.
MYTH 2.
Low-fat filling the most useful
Not really. You save on calories when limiting yourself in fat, but many of these dressings are loaded with sugar (more than two teaspoons per serving) - and no saturation. Plus, they block your ability to absorb carotenoids and antioxidants contained in green lettuce and tomato - which reduce the risk of heart disease. One study showed that people who use fat salad dressing, nutrients consumed twice as much as those with filling was less oily. A low-fat filling do not provide any benefit.
MYTH 3.
Salad - it's just a salad.
Not only when consumed in food. Kress and rukkula are favorites in the fight against cancer. Studies have shown that substances contained in Kresse, inactivate the toxins of tobacco smoke, are cause of cancer. Spinach - another hero, because it contains supply of lutein, which protects against cancer and blindness. Young cabbage, mustard greens and turnip greens are not as sharp, tough and bitter as they ripened fruit but are also effective against cancer fighters. Temnolistaya, soft herbs to taste: rosemary, krasnolistnyh lettuce - not too rich fitonutriinami, but it is dominated by beta-carotene. Bright greens: lettuce - iceberg or chicory - is largely a useless food.
MYTH 4.
Consume foods green
Color, vegetable salads containing fitonutriiny, you will not find in green plants. For example, a powerful antioxidant (anthocyanins) in purple vegetables such as eggplant, reduces the risk of heart disease, improves brain function. Radish helps fight cancer; just full of red tomatoes in lycopene, resisting cancer and heart disease.
MYTH 5.
Beans can replace meat protein
Spoonful (about ¼ cup) provides you with four grams of protein - it is not enough if - the only protein that you eat. We need a 0, 36 gammas per pound of protein (0, 373 grams) of body weight (ie, a woman weighing 58 kg needs 55 grams of protein daily). Get more consuming ¾ cup beans - about 11 grams of protein - plus ¼ eggs (4 grams of protein) or ¼ cup chopped cheese.
MYTH 6.
Environmentally friendly Salad is very helpful
After the lettuce was packed, it loses vitamin B, vitamin C, and other nutrients; heat and light speed up this process. The usual cabbage, torn yesterday, with a lot more nutrients than non-polluting, assembled with special fields this week. Of course, there are reasons to select clean, organic products, but also the presence of nutrients to those not.
