The chaotic "enlightenment" that the Internet brings us, has taught us to treat with suspicion all sweet or flour. We are ready to eat only vegetables and are almost certain that the more unpleasant the food - the more useful it is. However, let's look at the situation from all sides and figure out what is the use and harm ... for example, of oatmeal cookies.
Arguments for"
One of the main arguments in favor of oatmeal cookies is the amount of fiber we receive when we eat it. Oats contain soluble fibers that reduce the level of "bad" cholesterol and the risk of developing heart disease. And although oatmeal cookies can not be called absolutely healthy food, this kind is much better than other types of cookies in terms of the content of vitamins. It contains folic acid, essential for hematopoiesis and capable of maintaining the general mood of a person at a sufficiently high level. Folic acid also affects the development and restoration of all body tissues and supports the functioning of the liver in normal mode.
In addition to it, oatmeal cookies supply vitamins A and K to our bodies. Of course, cookies cooked at home are much more useful than those already bought, because the risk of getting too many low-quality fats and sugar is reduced.
Oatmeal cookies and diet
Unfortunately, cookies for slimming have not yet been invented. Oatmeal cookies actually contain less fat and more protein, fiber and calcium than others. However, the recommended dose of calcium for an adult person is more than 1000 mg, and in order to get it with oatmeal cookies, you will have to eat it too much. The calorific value of oatmeal cookies still exceeds its usefulness. Each cookie contains in its 100 grams an average of 434 calories.
However, the more people wondered if it is possible to cook on a diet, the more nutritionists and culinary specialists understood that they would have to come to an agreement. As a result, a recipe for dietary oatmeal cookies was invented, the calorie content of which is significantly reduced in comparison with the usual one. This cookie is allowed to be consumed even in the Ducane diet.
