1. Why we like sweet taste

Sweet taste is associated with pleasure. Food rich in sugar is caloric and provides essential energy. When access to food was limited, people sought to consume products that contained a large number of calories in a small portion. In addition, the taste of sweetness taken as pleasant usually indicates the suitability of the product for consumption. Bitter flavors are most often indicative of food contamination. However, organoleptic flavors protect by poisoning. Taste preferences also vary between people in general, and they can also change over the course of a person's life.

2. Dried fruit varieties

Drying is one of the oldest methods of preserving food. It involves evaporating almost all the water content of the food before drying, which prevents the proliferation of microorganisms. Fruits can be dried naturally in the sun or with the use of appropriate technology. Some fruits are dried entirely, such as strawberries, grapes, strawberry, plums, others in pieces, e.g. pineapple, papaya, mango, kiwi. Some products are soaked in sugar solutions such as grapefruit. Research indicates a relationship between their consumption and the quality of their diet.

The following are some of the health benefits of dried fruit: acts as a cardioprotector and antioxidant, has a beneficial effect on the lipid profile, reduces the severity of symptoms associated with bacterial urinary tract infection and the frequency of infections;

4. Families

improve the lipid profile and lower inflammatory rates, improve blood pressure in people with well-controlled type 2 diabetes, may prevent the oxidation of LDL molecules (LDL oxides have an atherosclerotic effect), reduce hunger;

5. Dried slices

They have a beneficial effect on the lipid profile, improve the concentration of liver enzymes, are an ideal snack between meals, allow you to control eating.

6. Nuts of all kinds

There are many types of nuts, and most importantly each of them is available in Poland. They are distinguished by: almonds (the almond fruit of the common cane), Brazil nuts (the fruit of grapefruit of the coniferous pine tree), ?? kidney nutes (the root of the western kidney tree), Italian nuts

7. Fisted ducks

The ideal snack is also grains, often used as a supplement to other foods. It is worth noting that: are rich in iron, copper, zinc, niacin, vitamin E. Studies have shown improvements in iron economy in the body after 4 weeks of eating 30 g of pumpkin seeds per day. Inclusion of these seeds in the diet may be beneficial for pregnant women, young people and groups particularly at risk of iron deficiency anemia.

8. The sunflower seeds

are an exceptionally good source of zinc, magnesium and folic acid. They have a high antioxidant potential.

9. Seeds of sesame

They are normally consumed as a supplement, e.g. a hamburger bun spoon. This is a great pity because sesame seeds can have great potential, especially in regulating lipid profile. In one of the pharmacologically treated studies, people with arthritis consumed 40 g of sesame per day for 2 months.

10. Chia seeds

are high in fiber (above 30 g/100 g) and protein. Due to their high content of omega-3s as few of the plant products are used in the production of highly concentrated oil as a source of these fatty acids. Chia seeds have been included in the functional food group by the European Parliament.

11. Seeds of flaxseed

are also classified as functional foods, mainly due to their high content of alpha-linolenic acid, lignin and fiber. Consumption of flaxseed prevents diseases of the circulatory system, including atherosclerosis, arthritis, diabetes, some types of cancer. It is worth noting that in order to take full advantage of their properties, the seeds must first be crushed, e.g. in coffee grounds.
