Portions of superfoods Copy Cwp April 8, 2018 No Comments Superfoods are very fashionable, as we have realized the great benefits they provide. For example, carrying a handful of blueberries, berries, walnuts and peanuts could be the solution to those hunger attacks. We will tell you the portions of superfoods that you should consume. The problem is that sometimes we abuse it. That is, even if you eat the entire jar of nuts, that does not mean that you will have the benefits of nuts multiplied by four. And I think deep down you know it. So close that bottle and pay attention to the following: In this example we can apply the phrase: “THE DOSE MAKES THE POISON”. These foods are rich in fat. And although this fat is mostly unsaturated with cholesterol-lowering benefits, fats, whatever they are, provide the same amount of Kcal, 9/gr. Then we must moderate consumption and limit ourselves to the recommended portion. Otherwise, that extra energy will only give us weight gain. Another problem they may have is that since most of them are very salty, they increase the amount of salt ingested per day in our diet and contribute to increasing our blood pressure and fluid retention. Choosing unsalted varieties or adding spices could be a solution. Some people are not used to consuming fiber. And this group of foods are an important source of it. Therefore, perhaps some may suffer some gastro-intestinal discomfort such as bloating, gas and even diarrhea if they are abused. Therefore… Where should we set the limit to be able to benefit from its pros without suffering negative effects? The recommended serving is 1/3 cup. Which would be equivalent to 3 walnuts (6 halves) or 7-9 almonds per day. Giving us a average of 70 Kcal. A trick is to divide your bag, box or jar of nuts/almonds into individual portions in bags or small jars. This way you will control your intake much better and there is also a psychological effect in which finishing a container/dish/drinking creates a satiety effect that will prevent you from continuing to snack.
