Donuts - to eat or not to eat?
The amount of calories contained in a donut - especially when accompanied by information about physical activity necessary to burn them - seems frightening, but it is worth adding that the omelette has exactly the same caloric value. But why don't the calories in an omelette seem as terrible as the calories in a donut, which is less fat?
All because of the lack of nutritional value. The donut contains a negligible amount of protein, but a lot of sugar, which increases the level of insulin in the blood. Our body stores the extra dose of sugar in the form of adipose tissue - insulin is responsible for accelerating the process of its storage. Moreover, immediately after eating a donutwe will feel good, but soon we will fall into a small psychological depression, caused by a rapid drop in sugar levels, neutralized by insulin.
So, or not eat donuts? Of course to eat! If we buy good-quality donuts from a proven source, we are unlikely to find artificial substances in them that would improve their appearance, taste or smell.
There should be no antioxidants, preservatives or stabilizers in them. It is definitely better to reach for a donut than shop sweets in foil and wrapping paper full of harmful ingredients.
Then watch out for supermarket donuts - they often contain a lot of leavening agents, preservatives and hardened fats. Therefore, whenever you buy donuts in large retail chains, pay attention to the ingredients.
