Unhealthy Foods with Health Benefits<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

One of the unhealthy foods with health benefits that amazed me was something as simple as popcorn.\u00a0Spokesman Jim White for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics said: “Many foods that have been scrutinized for being harmful can actually fit into a healthy diet.”<\/p>\n

    Beef, pork, lamb, duck, veal, goat, venison, and horse are all red meat. Too much red meat is not good for everyone but eating red meat in moderation might helps us in various ways.<\/p>\n

    \nZinc:<\/strong> Keeps our immune system working properly.
    \nProtein:<\/strong> Protein helps to make our bones strong and build our muscles. The best health benefits come from lean meat, which means every 1 ounce of meat should contain less than 3 grams of fat.<\/li>\n

    Researchers have concluded that eggs can be considered part of a healthy diet because high levels of saturated fats in our blood are mainly from meat and not eggs. Registered dietitian Janal Funk told U.S. News that “While eggs’ protein is in the white of the egg, the yolk, which many people toss out, contains vitamin D and choline, two important nutrients that are not found in many foods.”<\/p>\n
