Introduction
The
food industry is a big one, and it has tons of secrets. From how to make the
perfect omelet to how to make the most popular snack in America, I've got you
covered on what we know and don't know about our favorite foods.
Food has some surprising secrets!
Food is good for you. Food can be healthy or unhealthy. It's up to you, though, what kind of food you eat. But let's be honest: not all foods are created equal when it comes to their nutritional value and health benefits (and some even have the opposite effect). So here are 8 secrets about food that might surprise you!
Sauerkraut
is one of the healthiest fermented foods.
Sauerkraut
is made by fermenting cabbage, which contains lactobacillus bacteria that
contribute to the fermentation process. Fermentation is a process that
preserves food by allowing beneficial microorganisms to flourish. It also
contributes to the food's flavor and nutritional value, since it makes
nutrients more bioavailable.
Sauerkraut's
probiotic content is high—about 20 times higher than in raw cabbage! Probiotics
are friendly bacteria that help your body produce hydrochloric acid (HCl) and
other digestive enzymes required for proper digestion of foods like grains and
beans as well as meats such as chicken breast or ground beef in burgers or
tacos with guacamole made from avocados grown on organic farms where no
pesticides were used throughout their entire life cycle including harvesting
time until they reach market shelves around here too!
Raw milk has
more nutritional benefits than pasteurized milk.
Raw
milk is a healthy option for you and your family. It's a byproduct of the dairy
industry, but it has more nutritional benefits than pasteurized milk.
Pasteurized milk comes from cows that have been exposed to antibiotics and
other chemicals in order to increase their lifespan, which can cause bacteria
to build up in their system. This means that pasteurized milk isn't as
nutritious as raw!
The sugar in
fruit actually comes from the fiber in the fruit and not the sugar itself.
You
might be surprised to learn that the sugar in fruit actually comes from the
fiber in the fruit and not from its own sugar content. The reason for this is
because when you eat a piece of crisp pineapple or an orange, all of those
juicy juices come from inside your mouth and down into your stomach (and then
back up again).
What
makes this so great is that it fills us up! The fiber in fruit fills us up
faster than other foods do because it's digested more slowly; therefore we feel
full longer after eating them.
Fermented
vegetables are a great source of probiotics, which help regulate your
digestion.
Fermented
vegetables are a great source of probiotics, which help regulate your
digestion. Probiotics are good for your digestive system because they help keep
things moving along smoothly and prevent inflammation in the gut. They're also
an easy way to get more fiber into your diet—and that's important if you want
to keep reducing the amount of food going down the toilet every day!
Probiotic
foods include sauerkraut and yogurt, but don't expect them to be found anywhere
else: there's no such thing as "probiotic" food!
It's
possible to get too much vitamin D from sunlight, but this is rare.
Vitamin
D is a fat-soluble vitamin that's important for maintaining strong bones,
muscles and teeth. It's produced in your skin when exposed to ultraviolet light
from sun or artificial sources such as tanning beds or smartphones. You can
also get it from some foods like eggs and fatty fish like salmon, but most people
take in enough through diet alone.
Vitamin
D toxicity is rare because it's stored in the liver, kidneys and other tissues
throughout your body—not just certain parts of your skin where you've been
sitting out during midday hours on the beach all summer long (or whatever else
happens when you're not wearing sunscreen). But if too much vitamin D is
consumed at once—for example by eating lots of orange juice filled with calcium
without taking any supplements yourself—it can build up over time until levels become
too high for healthy functioning of these organs; this could cause
nausea/vomiting/diarrhea among other symptoms including muscle weakness/fatigue
etcetera depending on how severe
Most of the
calcium in plant sources is unavailable to your body unless you cook or ferment
it first.
The
truth is that most of the calcium in plant sources is unavailable to your body
unless you cook or ferment it first.
This
is because calcium is a hard substance for the body to absorb, so its levels
have to be significantly raised before they can be used by your cells. This
means that if you eat raw or unfermented foods (vegetables, fruits), those
foods will contain very little usable calcium for your body to take up (unless
there's some cooking involved).
In
addition to being difficult for humans and other mammals to process into usable
tissue-building materials like osteocalcin (a protein made from collagen), it
also takes longer—about five days at room temperature—for our bodies' digestive
systems to break down some forms of calcium into smaller molecules that are
easier for us to digest and absorb through our gut lining into circulation
throughout our bodies' blood vessels
Fermented
food takes up a lot of space in your gut to digest, which means you are less
hungry after eating it than after eating cooked or raw food.
Fermented
foods are rich in probiotics, which help regulate your digestion. When you eat
a fermented food, it takes up a lot of space in your gut to digest, which means
that after eating it you feel less hungry than if you had eaten raw or cooked
food. Probiotics also help with weight loss by making people feel full for
longer periods of time and preventing overeating at meals.
Probiotic-rich kombucha is one example of a fermented beverage that can be found at many grocery stores these days—it contains yeasts known as “friendly” bacteria that have been studied extensively for their potential health benefits (including reducing allergies). These microbes live naturally on our skin but are often killed off by soap or water when we wash ourselves; they can be added back into our diets through foods like yogurt or kefir made from milk fermented with lactobacillus bulgaricus bacteria strains which produce lactic acid when they break down sugars present during fermentation process."
Conclusion
The
food on your plate might be more complicated than you think. Even though you
might find it difficult to believe, there are some surprising benefits to
eating fermented foods. These foods contain healthy bacteria that can help
regulate digestion, improve your immune system and even help reduce
inflammation in the body. The next time you eat at home or out with friends,
try some of these secrets foods!
