You see that most of the super food powders recommended by bloggers are useless! If you don't buy, you earn!
I used to watch supermodels and bloggers show off their bodies and recommend super foods. I followed the trend and drank yogurt bowls mixed with fruit and vegetable powder for dinner for a while, but I didn't feel better, but there were many symptoms of vitamin deficiency: more fatigue, decreased resistance and intensified inflammatory reaction, which basically disappeared after I ate vegetables again.
Seriously, I began to seriously check the literature and do my homework on nutritional ingredients, only to find that some of these super foods failed to achieve the benefits of publicity, some obviously had many cheap substitutes in life, and some were even harmful to health!
It looks exquisite to make a yogurt bowl with these colorful powders, which caters to the health needs of contemporary young people to soak Lycium barbarum in a thermos cup, but there is no need to spend this money at all. The following is a combination of the information I have found to help you prevent several health rumors of super food.
1.? Brazil berry powder is nutritious?
Pamela completely ignited Brazil berry powder, which is famous for its rich anthocyanins, vitamin A and rich oils (including Omega-3, 6 and 9).
Omega-3, 6 and 9 are good, but the proportion is more important. What is the ratio of Omega3 to Omega6 in Brazil berry powder? 1:13? About, but what is the ideal ratio? 1:2? Even higher will have an effect on health, so from this point of view, it is better not to eat after eating.
Besides anthocyanins, there are so many anthocyanin foods in our life that there is no need to buy acai berry powder. Use coarse grains of black rice, purple rice, black beans, purple potatoes, fruits of mulberry, cranberries, blueberries, grapes and so on to replace, cheap and fresh, not fragrant?
In addition, vitamin A is very common in pork, chicken, animal offal and all kinds of vegetables, but Brazil berries are not outstanding.
2.? Can green juice replace vegetables?
Green juice is also a frequent visitor to supermodel recipes. It is generally claimed that a spoonful can meet the daily needs of vegetables, but you should know that vegetables will lose 2% to 7% of their nutrition when cooking at home. In the process of making the vegetable into powder, firstly, water-soluble vitamins will be lost due to drying. If it is not freeze-dried, more vitamins will fail in the process of heating. In the end, most of the remaining elements are very stable: starch, fat and fiber.
Therefore, vegetable powder can definitely not replace vegetables, and can only be used as an emergency tonic at most. It is better to fry a green leafy vegetable than to drink green juice at a high price.
3.? Maca powder can improve energy?
General promotion of maca powder can improve energy, mood and fertility. However, these effects of Maca have always lacked human experimental data. At present, they are basically animal experiments, and most of them are funded by Maca Company.
Maca does contain some nutrients, such as polyphenols, vitamins and magnesium, but these are cheaper and more convenient food sources, so there is no need to drink maca powder.
4. Is it healthier to drink oatmeal milk?
Oat milk has become a success through perfect marketing and good taste. However, it is almost absent in protein, and its calcium depends entirely on additives and dietary fiber. Its nutritional value can't be compared with that of milk, but its sugar rise is excellent.
at best, it can be regarded as an alternative product for lactose intolerant people, but it has nothing to do with health.
5.? Nut milk instead of milk
Nut milk such as almond milk and cashew milk has also been ignited by supermodels. However, most nuts such as almonds, cashews and pistachios are too high to induce inflammation. Although there are some hormone disputes in milk, nut milk is not necessarily a better choice.
6.? Can eating pomegranate powder be beautiful?
Pomegranate seeds are advertised as "fruits for keeping young" because of their high vitamin content and, importantly, the natural polyphenol ellagic acid. Indeed, current research shows that pomegranate seeds have certain potential for preventing chronic diseases and resisting inflammation.
However, pomegranate powder only contains? 2mg? What are the effective contents of ellagic acid currently studied? 3–85? Mg, and other vitamins that have been processed into powder are very few, so they may be lonely. < P > If you really want to supplement ellagic acid, you might as well buy pomegranate seed capsules directly. What is the general ellagic acid content? 2mg? Above, save money and save trouble
7. Mackerel powder
Mackerel is famous for its anthocyanin content, and a copy of Machilus powder of Navitas (brand name) is marked with? 114mg? Anthocyanin
just said in Brazil berry powder that there are many foods rich in anthocyanin in life, 1g? Fresh blueberries? 4mg? There are a lot of anthocyanins in black rice and black beans, so there is no need to buy raspberry powder at a high price.
On the other hand, anthocyanins do have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, but the eye protection of publicity should be in doubt, because many clinical experiments have failed to prove the eye protection effect of anthocyanins, because anthocyanins can't cross the blood-brain barrier, let alone eye protection.
There are many similar IQ tax super foods, which may not be rich in nutrition, but they must be expensive. Personally, I don't think it's necessary to buy most of them. Even before buying, you should do your homework. In addition, you should choose the ones that have not been subjected to high temperature in the milling process, because the antioxidant nutrients are very easy to lose, which is greatly affected by light, temperature and air contact. If you are not careful, the active substances will be ineffective, and eating them will have no effect.
