There are legends about the beneficial properties of sour cream. But is everything so obvious?
This product is worth talking about in more detail, because there are consumption features that directly affect the general condition.
What you need to know about sour cream
Sour cream is a fermented milk product with a high fat content. Sour cream can contain from 10 to 30%. The increased fat content requires moderation in consumption.
A simple example: excessive consumption of sour cream can cause gastrointestinal problems.
Pay attention to the composition
Before moving on to the beneficial properties, it is worth taking a closer look at the features of choosing sour cream. Most people only pay attention to the cost and fat content when buying. Why not look at the composition?
Each manufacturer indicates the actual composition of sour cream. If it does not contain any natural components, what benefit to the body can we talk about? Sour cream can be useful and nutritious only if it is chosen correctly.
Beneficial properties
The beneficial properties of this product can be explained by its high vitamin content. Also in the composition you can find:
- Potassium.
- Calcium.
- Amino acids.
- Zinc and more.
Consuming sour cream fresh improves the condition of hair, skin and nails. Sour cream also has a positive effect on the digestive system. If sour cream is used to prepare various dishes and is subjected to long-term heat treatment, many beneficial bacteria simply die.
Contraindications for consumption
Sour cream cannot be called an ideal product that must be included in the diet. We can recall several contraindications:
- It is better not to give sour cream to children under 2 years old, even if it is low-fat. The fact is that the child's gastrointestinal tract will not be able to digest sour cream normally, which is why it will experience increased stress;
- in case of gastritis, you should be careful. There are often situations when after consumption the negative consequences increase;
- It should also be excluded from the diet if you have problems with the gallbladder and liver;
- Excess sour cream can provoke pain and heaviness in the stomach. Everyone should understand that sour cream is a complex product that the body may not digest quickly.
If we consider the issue of calorie content, then here many girls make a mistake. As a rule, sour cream is often used as a dressing instead of mayonnaise. And since when can sour cream be called a low-calorie product?
