Experts talk about the health benefits of homemade jam
Many housewives spend the summer preparing homemade food, such as jam.
But few people know that such a product not only complements desserts or improves the taste of some hot drinks, but also has a positive effect on health.
Rospotrebnadzor specialists provided more details about this.
They noted that the homemade product does not contain any harmful additives. Such jam can protect against some diseases and can even help in the fight against extra pounds.
For example, raspberry jam can be added to the diet for colds, sore throats, and flu. The thing is that this berry contains elements that have antipyretic properties.
A product based on currants strengthens blood vessels and immunity.
Those people who want to lose weight should pay attention to the pumpkin-based delicacy. The thing is that the fruit contains vitamin T, which improves fat metabolism and helps to get rid of kilograms.
The department's specialists also reminded that any jam contains a large amount of sugar. And people with obesity, diabetes and small children should limit the amount of jam in their diet. If possible, try to reduce the amount of sugar when preparing.
