The concept of “healthy food” suggests something tasteless, little if not at all inviting and to eat reluctantly.
Only rarely is a healthy food or dish supposed to be good.
Well, let’s try to overcome once and for all this mistaken and now ancient idea. Healthy is also good, even more so than many fatty foods. And then, as we saw in a previous article (link who), not even an excess of so-called “healthy foods” is good for our body. Variation and moderation are the keywords of a correct and balanced diet.
This time we will focus on a healthy food that many people like and that is used for sweet and savory dishes.
This food is delicious and good for your health
We can only refer to pistachio. With its bright green color, pistachio is so loved that it has conquered several pages on social media dedicated only to his. King of ice cream par excellence, the most appreciated is that of Bronte. It is a small town in the province of Catania that has become famous for what we could define as a real “green gold”.
Not only good to taste and beautiful to the eye, but also a friend of our well-being. In fact, this food is very good and is good for health.
Fights insomnia
A University of Louisiana study found a high presence of melatonin, the hormone responsible for the sleep-wake cycle. Researchers have also shown that their eventual roasting does not alter their properties and nutritional characteristics.
In addition to melatonin, moreover, pistachios are rich in potassium and magnesium, essential in times of tension and exhaustion.
If you want to consume them as a snack, the recommended amount is about 30 grams per day.
Better not to abuse them, however, given their high caloric intake. Therefore, it is okay to eat pistachio especially in the evening if you suffer from insomnia, but be careful if you are following a low-calorie diet.
