Seven “unexpected” foods according to our knowledge about healthy eating, seven nutritious foods for our diet: I chose to talk about them, after reading an article in the American Huffington Post by Anne Ricci (expert in healthy and balanced nutrition, in especially for women), because it addresses the problem of fat in the diet. A thorny topic, for which we generally know that saturated fats are bad, we have read around that some fatty foods, including eggs, cause cholesterol: but what we may not know is that in recent years science has been moving forward. , providing new studies and results that put the role of certain foods in a more objective perspective and relieve them of several accusations.

Saturated fats? A new study has determined that in themselves they are not to be demonized , but to be included in a large and varied diet that includes other forms of fat (for example polyunsaturated), free portions of fruits and vegetables, legumes, fish and whole grains: in this way not only saturated fats are not harmful to health , but on the contrary cutting saturated fats with the risk of eating a diet too rich in carbohydrates is absolutely to be avoided, as well as associating them with a massive consumption of refined carbohydrates and industrial food determines the real problem, which is the risk of cardiovascular health. In short, food itself is not poison, if we eat it in moderation and as part of a varied and balanced diet. We can therefore avoid excluding many foods from our life, if we know how to combine them with healthy choices. And in particular, Anne Ricci explains how these 7 foods are nutritious, they are not to be avoided, and it would even be a tragic mistake to do so.
