It is generally accepted that all kinds of confectionery products, which are now in abundance, cannot benefit our health.
However, this statement is wrong when it comes to at least one sweet, and its name is marmalade.
What are the benefits of marmalade?
Pectin, which is often used in the production of marmalade and is found in many fruits, has a beneficial effect on health.
It reduces the level of bad cholesterol, normalizes carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, prevents gastrointestinal diseases, accelerates skin regeneration and removes heavy metals from the body.
If the sweet was made using agar-agar, it is no less useful - it helps the liver, cleanses the body of toxins and waste, and also stimulates the stomach.
Due to its origin from seaweed and high iodine content, marmalade will benefit people with thyroid problems.
Finally, marmalade has a positive effect on joints, as it strengthens cartilage tissue.
Which marmalade is harmful?
If you want to get the most benefit from the product, avoid marmalade that contains artificial colors, flavors and other chemical additives - they can provoke allergies and other health problems.
And the last recommendation to consider when buying: marmalade should have a low sugar content.
