Potatoes, fat spreads and eggs are known as the "villains" in a healthy diet.
.
My Last 20 years, research has shown a normal intake of dietary cholesterol has very little influence on a person’s blood cholesterol levels
"All foods fit into a healthy diet. Don’t fall into the trap of believing in 'superfoods' or 'food villains'. Enthusiastic consumption of one particular 'superfood' can be worse than consuming a so-called 'food villain'."
.
FAT spreads such as butter have had a confusing nutritional history...
Although this led to a reduction in the number of people suffering from coronary heart disease.
.
Potatoes are considered to be unhealthy But potatoes are a rich source of carbohydrates, vitamin C, some B vitamins and trace minerals.
The preparing and cooking of potatoes can also influence the aspects of the starches for the better.
Cooking and cooling potatoes increases the amount of resistant starch in the potatoes, which “resists” digestion in the gut, potentially having a positive impact on your gut bacteria
.
Eggs-
Eggs were long-believed to be bad for your heart.
.
Dairy -
Once a staple food in many people's diets, milk, butter, yoghurt and cheese are no longer consumed to the same extent because of conflicting health messages.
.
While dairy products contain high protein and calcium, which the body needs, they need to be chosen with care as some products contain high amounts of saturated fat per portion.
My point is not a bad thing to regularly consume dairy products as long as this is part of reasonable calorie and fat intakes.
.
Raw nuts and nut butters-
Some suggest nuts should be avoided by anyone trying to lose weight because they are high in fat and calories.
But raw nuts are key to a healthy diet and while maintaining body weight, they also help to reduce death from heart disease and cardiac arrest.
Raw nuts contain protein, healthy fats, which are low in saturated fat, dietary fibre and micronutrients.
Peanut butter, can also be part of a healthy diet as a source of protein, fibre, vitamin B6 and magnesium. Evidence from recent research demonstrate peanut butter can increase weight loss if it is used to replace less healthy protein sources such as processed meats.
High in calories, peanut butter yet needs to be consumed in moderation.
