Really Healthy Snacks

"They're really healthy cookies? by Medimanage.com

Whether Parle G biscuits we've all grown up with the Bourbons or just lick the cream cracker has long been part of life. It now has suddenly been called the healthiest, with more fiber, fortified with minerals and have no trans fats. Was a much of our life that is ever considered whether it was really healthy before?

Therefore, let's see if cookies are as healthy as companies say they are.

At first glance we usually most cookies contain

Wheat flour - Another word for Maida, wheat flour mentioned in the packets is usually refined wheat flour. Eating refined wheat flour is not recommended because "during the process, the top brown wheat extracts containing essential vitamins and fiber also necessary to complement the process of digestion and supports weight loss.

Hydrogenated oils, may seem harmless enough, but these hydrogenated oils which means they contain the most dangerous type of fat Trans fats. Trans fats are known to increase bad cholesterol and lowers good cholesterol. It also increases the odds of diabetes and heart disease.

Sugar: The Most cookies are sweet and contain moderate to high amounts of sugar. This high amount of sugar gives a sudden peak energy, but we do not fill. Diabetics also really have to be careful to choose the type of cookie that is low in sugar. You can check the amount of sugar present in cookies to revise the package.

Particularly in terms of what to replace: In case you're wondering, all content above is not very healthy cookie Dr. Shweta Iyang option, however, says that "if the cookies are healthy or not, is on what needs to change. If cookies substitute fruits, then they are bad, but if taken in place of canned foods and other items chaklis chiwdas and then are healthy. "

So let's be clear about what cookies are:

Cookies are not low in calories

Marie, who is considered one of the cakes light contains 56 calories in just two of his pieces. You will require 30 minutes of aerobic exercise to lose those calories. If Marie adds many calories then you can imagine the number of calories you add other cookies.

Cookies not a good source of fiber

I do not believe completely what they say in the ads. Even with the fiber that is added in the cookies, the content is much lower than the daily requirement of fiber. So instead of looking at the cookies to look for fiber in fruits and vegetables to our needs for fiber.

Cookies replacement is not a healthy snack

A good time to have the cookie is after exercise and heavy activity. Because it has a high sugar content may provide a boost to energy. But as an appetizer by itself, would not give you the nutrition you should especially after an activity. So to eat grain or fruit will be the best option.

So we must give up all the cookies?

No, Dr. Shweta feels Iyengar, she says "cookies are best option when in the options to move and just as samosas and vada are available AVP. Biscuit is then the option more safe, hygienic and healthy. "

Let's see what kinds of cookies that must be prevented, if to diet:

  • Khari, Nankhatai and other bakery products: These are strictly to be avoided, since they contain large amounts of a maiden vanaspati ghee, and margarine are a source of trans fats.
  • Cream biscuits: Children love cookies cream. But they have to be avoided by being very sweet and contains artificial colors and flavors. You must keep to a minimum and opt for other types of cookies.
  • most, well: the day, hide and seek and other nuts, cookies are those that serve customers, but did you know contain cookies cookies butter and are just as bad as biscuits.To cream read more about cookies, Are they really healthy?
