Pasta is a food that helps metabolism, spirit and imagination.
Furthermore, it produces health benefits and is essential for the nutrition of athletes.
In recent years, various scientific researches have debunked all the legends according to which pasta makes you fat.
Pasta doesn’t make you fat, but if it is seasoned with fresh products and cooked to perfection (“al dente”), it should be considered a real panacea.
The main benefits of pasta are:
Pasta is good for the heart
Pasta has the lowest glycemic index of all carbohydrates (white bread, potatoes, sugars). This makes you feel full and at the same time raises the level of proteins that protect the heart and blood circulation. Furthermore, it contains little sodium and therefore helps the pressure.
Metabolically almost perfect
Pasta is metabolically almost perfect because its carbohydrates have long absorption times, it satisfies for longer and provides complex sugars necessary for any physical and mental effort. It helps the body work harder, better and longer.
This is the reason why, in Italy, where a lot of pasta is consumed, obesity problems are decidedly lower than in other places in the world.
Helps in concentration
Pasta helps you think. Being easily digestible, it supplies the brain with essential sugars to manage attention, concentration and helps also to manage moments of stress.
Stress reliever
Pasta is an edible anti-stress, not only because it is good, but also due to the presence of group B vitamins, especially B1, also called thiamine, useful for the correct functioning of the nervous system.
Other positive effects of pasta not directly linked to its consumption, but which must be kept in mind are:
Making pasta releases positive energy
Pasta is not only good to eat! Making homemade pasta is a physical effort that combines concentration and effort; it is a liberating and “anti-stress” gesture that leads to a result of satisfaction and enjoyment!
