Mazurka is a high-calorie product - 100 g of mazurka provides 345 kcal. In addition, mazurek contains significant amounts of fat - it is rich mainly in saturated fatty acids and cholesterol.
There are small amounts of vitamins and minerals in the mazurka. However, compared to other vitamins, it is distinguished by the content of vitamin E, vitamin A and vitamin B12. However, among the minerals, phosphorus and copper deserve attention.
Mazurek is low in dietary fiber due to the wheat flour that is used in its preparation. It is characterized by a high level of purification. Wheat flour is not beneficial to he alth: it causes a rapid increase in blood glucose after its consumption and a rapid decrease in it, which increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease.
Eggsused for baking mazurka affect the presence of polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E and phosphorus in this product.
Butter used to prepare mazurka is a source of mainly saturated fatty acids, which raise the level of cholesterol in the body, which increases the risk of heart disease and atherosclerosis. However, butter contains vitamin E, which is an antioxidant.
Mazurek is also a source of sucrose, which when consumed in excess has adverse he alth consequences: it increases the risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes and tooth decay. Additionally, sugar can increase blood cholesterol and raise blood pressure.
Mazurka is not recommended for people with obesity, due to its high calorific value, and for people suffering from diabetes.
