The doctor explains why ordinary sunflower seeds are dangerous
I have a serious problem - my friend loves sunflower seeds.
When she is very nervous, then she needs seeds. Small fuss with them distracts, sometimes relaxes. And since the work is responsible, the seeds become a real problem.
And the worst thing is that it is impossible to buy a bag and chew on one handful! You eat one - you run after the other ...
Why seeds are bad
1. In seeds a huge amount of fatty acids, and Omega-6 prevails. Unlike healing Omega-3s, Omega-6s increase inflammation in the body and, according to the law of meanness, are the first to be absorbed. That is, if there are harmful Omega-6 and beneficial Omega-3 in the queue, resources will first be spent on Omega-6.
2. They are high in calories almost the same as squeezed butter - under 600 kcal per 100 grams. And they also provoke appetite. If you do not eat enough seeds to fill your stomach, you will have to "catch up" with other food.
3. Half of the problem is if the seeds are raw - there really are vitamins and nutrients. But we love fried seeds, and this is immediately a source end products of glycation (CNG) - one of the main aging factors. Our body can neutralize a fairly limited amount of AGE per day, and I am sure that this reserve should be spent on something truly tasty, such as barbecue, and not on seeds.
4. This is a "dirty" product that may contain eggs of parasites and so on. After this phrase, I would have lost the desire to eat it. If there is nothing without seeds, then it is better to buy raw, wash it properly, and then dry it in the oven or microwave.
5. Seeds spoil teeth. Dentists can even distinguish between crawling enthusiasts by special chinks. Moreover, the matter is not limited to small chips, often cracks go along the entire tooth.
What about sunflower oil?
The difference is in quantity. A little sunflower oil in a salad is tasty and healthy. Our body will somehow sort out the received Omega-6.
And with seeds, after all, "a little bit" does not work at all. The benefits of vitamins will be neutralized by the harm from off-scale fat content, calorie content and an excess of CNG.
