Six Healthy Reasons For Picking Pizza Lexington KY's Medical Community Can Embrace

By Ronald Harris


How a country obsessed with diets and dieting continues to get heavier and heavier is a mystery to some. There are certainly plenty of diets to choose from. People will argue the merits of keto, vegan, mediterranean, paleo, and low carb all day. What most will agree with is that the one menu item most Americans love to eat, pizza, is low on the list of healthy choices. The fact is you can make a pizza Lexington KY's medical professionals might even approve of.

Pizzas can combat cancers. They can be heart healthy as well. That's because of the tomatoes that seem to be an active ingredient in every pie recipe. The lycopene in tomatoes is a powerful antioxidant. It seems to work better when hot however. The heat helps the body absorb the lycopene. Therefore, having leftover slices cold for breakfast won't give you the same nutritional boost.

You can get a immunity boost from the sauce. The sauce is loaded with vitamin C. This might help prevent colds. It's also good for your bones and teeth. Vitamin C promotes tissue healing and helps the body absorb iron. Adding some oregano, which is delicious, will help with immunity. The active ingredient in oregano is carvacrol. Carvacrol is good for your liver because it helps control blood sugar levels.

You can make pizzas as nutritious as you want them to be. You can also make them repositories of sugar and calories. It all depends on the kinds of toppings and crusts you choose. Nutritionists point to the added value of whole grain crusts as compared to refined white flour crusts. Diabetes and stroke risks are increased with adding carbs. Toppings like pineapple, Parmesan cheese, lean ham, and broccoli are all delicious and good for you.

You can get all your daily nutrient requirements in just one meal. Pizzas are great ways to cover all the food groups. You might add lean meats like ham or chicken for protein. Pineapples and tomatoes will cover the fruits. There are all kinds of vegetables you might include, like spinach, broccoli, or peppers. Low fat cheese gives you dairy. A whole wheat crust will cover the grains.

Pizzas can make your brain healthier. It just depends on the types of toppings you choose. If you love spinach, for example, you will be helping the blood in your brain circulate.

Spinach is full of vitamin K that is believed to slow the decline of cognitive skills in seniors. Pizza makes people happy, and there's a reason for that. The spinach, pineapple, and cheese toppings are full of serotonin. Serotonin elevates the mood.

If you make it yourself, you will control the healthy aspects of your meal. Pizzas are surprisingly easy to prepare. It may take some practice to perfect the crust, but once you have that down you can modify the ingredients in an endless variety of healthy ways. As with most things moderation is key. A couple of slices a week can be very beneficial though.
