Summary
New research suggests that moderate beer consumption could be beneficial for gut health, similar to probiotics. Beer contains bacteria that boost the intestinal microbiome and anti-inflammatory polyphenols that combat various health issues. Popcorn, often considered a junk food, is actually rich in fiber, vitamins, nutrients, and antioxidants. Potatoes can be made healthier by cooling them before consumption, converting carbs into slowly digestible and gut-friendly resistant starch. Dairy milk is a good source of iodine, essential for thyroid health, while chocolate, especially dark chocolate, is high in flavonoids that combat toxins. Homemade pizza, especially with unrefined flour and fresh toppings, can be a nutritious way to enjoy this classic dish.
Is the NOVA rating usually somewhere on the packaging? I’ve never heard of that, but I guess I’ve never really been looking for it either.
Never. The nutriscore in Europe uses the nova ranking for its own ranking (more complete, better and simpler to use overall). But it’s not always on the packaging (it depends on the company, and some of them are firmly against giving good nutritional informations to the people).
