You see, most of the super vegetable powders recommended by bloggers are useless! Don't buy or earn! I used to watch supermodels and bloggers show off their bodies and recommend super food. I followed the trend and drank a yogurt bowl mixed with fruit and vegetable powder for dinner for a while. I didn't feel better, but there were many symptoms of vitamin deficiency: more fatigue, decreased resistance, aggravated inflammatory reaction, and basically disappeared after eating vegetables. To be honest, I began to carefully check the literature and do my homework on nutrition, only to find that some of these super foods failed to achieve the benefits of publicity, some obviously had many cheap substitutes in life, and some were even unhealthy! Using these colorful powders to make a yogurt bowl looks exquisite, and soaking Lycium barbarum in a thermos cup also caters to the health needs of contemporary young people, but it is not necessary to spend this money. The following is a combination of information I found to help you prevent several health rumors of super food. 1. Is Brazil berry powder nutritious? Pamela completely ignited Brazil berry powder, which is famous for its rich anthocyanins, vitamin A and rich oils (including Omega-3, 6 and 9). ω-3, 6 and 9 are all good, but the ratio is more important. The ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 in Brazil berry powder is about 1: 13, but the ideal ratio is 1:2 or even higher, which will have an impact on health, so from this point of view, it is better not to finish eating it. Besides anthocyanins, there are so many anthocyanin foods in our life that there is no need to buy acai berry powder. Use coarse grains such as black rice, purple rice, black beans, purple potatoes, mulberries, cranberries, blueberries, grapes, etc., which are cheap, fresh and not fragrant? In addition, vitamin A is common in pork, chicken, animal offal and various vegetables, but acai berries are not prominent. 2. Can green juice replace vegetables? Green juice is also a frequent visitor to supermodel recipes. It is generally said that a spoonful can meet the daily needs of vegetables, but you should know that vegetables will lose 20% to 70% of their nutrition in home cooking. In the process of making vegetables into powder, firstly, water-soluble vitamins will be lost due to drying. If it is not freeze-dried, more vitamins will fail during heating. In the end, most of the remaining elements are stable: starch, fat and fiber. Therefore, vegetable powder can definitely not replace vegetables, but can only be used as an emergency tonic at most. It is better to fry a green leafy vegetable than to drink green juice at a high price. 3. Maca powder can improve energy? Popularizing maca powder can improve energy, mood and fertility. However, these effects of maca have been lacking in human experimental data. At present, they are basically animal experiments, and most of them are funded by Maca Company. Maca does contain some nutrients, such as polyphenols, vitamins and magnesium, but these are cheaper and more convenient food sources. Is it unnecessary to drink coffee powder? 4. Is it healthier to drink oatmeal milk? Oat milk has been successful through perfect marketing and good taste. But there is almost no calcium in protein, and calcium depends entirely on additives and dietary fiber. Its nutritional value is not comparable to that of milk, but its sugar-raising ability is excellent. At best, it can only be regarded as a substitute product for lactose intolerant people, which has nothing to do with health. 5. Nut milk replaces milk? Nut milk such as almond milk and cashew milk has also been ignited by supermodels. However, the content of most nuts such as almonds, cashews and pistachios is too high, which is easy to induce inflammation. Although there is some hormone controversy in milk, nut milk is not necessarily a better choice. 6. Can eating pomegranate powder make you beautiful? Pomegranate seed is advertised as "keeping young fruit" because of its high vitamin content, and more importantly, it also contains natural polyphenol ellagic acid. Indeed, the current research shows that pomegranate seeds have certain potential to prevent chronic diseases and anti-inflammation. However, pomegranate powder only contains about 2mg of ellagic acid per serving, and the effective content currently studied is 30-850 mg. There are few other vitamins processed into powder, and you may be lonely. If you really want to supplement ellagic acid, it is better to buy pomegranate seed capsules directly. Generally, the content of ellagic acid is above 200mg, which saves money and trouble. 7. Machiavelli powder Machiavelli is famous for containing anthocyanins, and a copy of Machiavelli powder of Navitas (brand name) is marked with 1 14mg anthocyanins. As I just said in Brazil berry powder, there are many foods rich in anthocyanins in life. 100g There are 400mg anthocyanins in fresh blueberries, and there are also many anthocyanins in black rice and black beans, so there is no need to buy high-priced raspberry powder. On the other hand, anthocyanins do have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, but the propaganda of eye protection should be doubtful, because many clinical experiments have failed to prove the eye protection effect of anthocyanins, which stems from the fact that anthocyanins cannot cross the blood-brain barrier, let alone protect eyes. There are many similar IQ tax super foods, which are not necessarily nutritious, but they must be good. Personally, I don't think it is necessary to buy most of them. You should do your homework even before buying. In addition, you should choose the one that has not been subjected to high temperature during the grinding process, because the antioxidant nutrients are easily lost and are greatly affected by light, temperature and air contact. If you are not careful, the active substance will fail, and it will have no effect if you eat it.
