Potatoes, contrary to all the “horror stories” about it, is a very nutritious and healthy product, which contains a lot of valuable health potassium.
But the dishes containing potatoes can cause weight gain. To avoid this, you must use the correct methods of cooking potatoes and its combination with other foods, according to nutritionists.
Nutritionist Oleg Medvedev explained: frying potatoes, pan-fried and deep-fried is the wrong way of preparation that makes the potatoes unhealthy. According to experts, roasting transforms contained in the potato starch into simple carbohydrates similar to those present in pastries and sweets.
Thus, the body reacts to roast the potatoes exactly the same as candy and cakes – in the blood rises quickly, the level of glucose, the pancreas secretes many insulin to break it down. In such conditions develops insulin resistance, leading to the emergence of diabetes.
“Many do not realize that most confectionery products made on the basis of potatoes – it is obtained from starch molasses,” – said Medvedev.
The doctor recommended baked or boiled potatoes “in uniform”. When such heat treatment is incomparably better in the product are preserved minerals. By the way, she added, such substances are found mainly in the skin.
Additionally potatoes should be eaten no meat, and greens, sauerkraut or other vegetables. The only way its use will not lead to excess weight.
