Ready To Know More About Pizza?


Pizza is truly a universal food that almost everyone enjoys. Not all pizza is created equal though. Some slices are a nutritious addition to your diet while others are nutritional nightmares. Knowing the difference between a healthy piece of pizza and an unhealthy one will let you enjoy this much-loved food more often and guilt-free.

I remember last year on December was my first time i ate pizza during a birthday party of a close friend. It was so sweet that i wouldn't stop eating it. This is the first time i realized why every person talks about buying pizza every Tuesday where by they call it terrific Tuesday. This is because you buy one pizza and you get one free. After eating it for the first time it became a tradition that every Tuesday i took my friends so that we could eat it together. I just stopped eating it frequently when i realized it has some side effects.

Side Effects Of Consuming Pizza:
  • Over eating pizzas may raise your blood cholesterol levels and make you prone to heart diseases.
  • The saturated fats in the main crust of pizzas may block your arteries and cause serious problems like myocardial infarction (heart attack).
  • The high calorie content of the pizzas may contribute to your weight gain and make you obese.
  • The carbohydrates of the pizzas have a very high glycemic index, which is capable of causing a reasonable effect on your blood glucose levels.
  • Being high in salt content pizzas may also raise your blood pressure levels.
  • Other than pizza having side effects it has some health benefits:
    If you add vegetables to your pizza, you can cross off a few more food groups. Meat gives you protein, with chicken being the healthiest choice. Other sources of nutrients in pizza include cheese, which contains calcium, protein and vitamin A. Another source of nutrients in pizza is the dough, which contains some antioxidants due to the chemical reactions of the yeast.

The reason behind all this is because there is exceptional food that is processed and ready to eat this food is indomie. What people need to know is that indomie should not be consumed frequently and in large amounts because of the effects on the blood vessels, heart and body weight.  Indomie is not good food especially for children because it is neither balanced food nor healthy.


Types of indomie

According to the medical researchers, bananas can prevent diseases such as cancer, asthma, blood pressure, they can improve heart health and they can also prevent memory loss and boost your moods.

Bananas contain vitamin C which helps to prevent the formation of free radicals that cause cancer. On the other hand, bananas being very rich in fiber prevent colorectal cancer which is the cancer that affects the colon or the rectum.

Taking one banana per day or especially feeding it to your young ones reduces the chances of them developing or having an asthmatic attack. Therefore, ONE BANANA A DAY KEEPS YOU AWAY FROM ASTHMA.

A banana having no sodium lowers the blood pressure and for the banana having 12% of potassium, it reduces the vasodilation effects which cause an increase in blood flow. Note that, a high potassium intake is associated with a 20% decreased risk of dying from all causes of BP.

The nutrients which are in the banana such as vitamin B6, manganese, vitamin C, potassium, fiber, copper and biotin all support heart health. Among all these nutrients, potassium is the best known nutrient that lowers the risk of death from heart diseases. High potassium intake also reduces the risk of stroke and reduction in the formation of kidney stones.

Bananas also contain an amino acid known as tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to promote relaxation and improve mood and also preserves ones memory. Hence they help you to feel happier.

Other roles that bananas can play is the treatment of diarrhea and can also prevent diabetes.
