Theorists, if you have the choice, would you rather eat a ton of spinach or chocolate? Which one do you think is BETTER for you? Well, you may just be WRONG! Today I'm diving into the science behind what makes our food "good" for us and why you should potentially be substituting that green stuff for some sweet, rich chocolate. Let's go!

@treefrog1018 2 года назад

P.s. Iron + High Calcium or Oxylates (mostly Eggs and Coffee) = Not Absorbing Iron. Avoid Dairy/Calcium and Eggs and Coffee for about 1.5-2 hrs before and after you take your Iron. Do add some Vitamin C (like a clementine) with your Iron. Vitamin C helps you absorb Iron. Beef + Salad + Clementine = Iron Ripped Smoothie with Strawberry (contains Vitamin C) + A little Coconut Cream or Heavy Cream + Spinach + Cocoa + Water = Iron Pumped.

@Zahoreoz Год назад

I would recommend reading your food labels to see what a serving size of dark chocolate is (at least 72% dark is best) to get a good idea of what nutrients you are getting. Like don't just stop eating veggies just because of this video because odds are the serving size of the chocolate you eat will not match the amount mentioned in the video. That being said, dark chocolate is a great snack that does have health benefits, just don't eat it in place of veggies.

@monroerobbins7551 Год назад

Exactly, cause while dark chocolate has benefits, veggies have other things like vitamins, fiber, etcetera. Though I don’t think he’s trying to advocate to replace your veg, I think he’s trying to advocate that way you shouldn’t go full hog on a food myth because it’s been around for so long.

If you have unexplained nutrient deficiencies like low iron, get checked for celiac disease. It causes your body to not be able to absorb nutrients. Just something I found out because my sister got diagnosed with celiac. You can have it even if you don't have other symptoms

I feel it's a bit remiss to not mention that if you want chocolate for the health benefits, take great care not to overload the sugar. Straight dark chocolate, like baker's chocolate, is quite healthy but also very bitter. A dark chocolate candy bar is not really the same thing healthwise. May be obvious, but still feel like it should have been called out at least once.

Fun fact, eating citric acid or ascorbic acid (vitamin c) with your greens actually boosts the bioavailable of the iron in the greens, and depending on the source, it can boost the bioavailability to higher than in meats. Foods in the allium family (onions, garlic, etc...) also boost the bioavailability of both iron and zinc in some foods.

@lazyhippie6139 2 года назад

Yeah I wish he'd addressed vitamin c for iron absorption. I agree that using spinach as your only source of iron is a poor choice, but there are many other plant foods that can give you iron. I'm a lazy vegetarian so I eat fortified cereals for iron, and always have fruit/ vitamin c pills with it. It seems to work. I do eat a lot of dark chocolate, too. I didn't know that about onions and garlic. On the flip side, calcium and caffeine inhibit iron absorption. Nutrtion is weird.

But from what percentage of dark chocolate this calculations were made from? 60%? 70%? 80%? And how is the nutritional value impacted by the amount of sugar present in the chocolate? many brands of dark chocolate use sugar as a way to compensate the bitter taste. Some dark chocolates contain more sugar than their milkier counterparts

@fishworshipper 2 года назад

The chocolate percentage is a very valid question, but I don’t think the sugar one is. Sugar is not inherently bad, just incredibly easy for us to now obtain in excess, and the amount that is fine for you to consume is heavily dependent on your lifestyle and what other foods you eat, not to mention the fact that different brands will use different quantities.

@spencerthomas4087 2 года назад

A few notes: 1) most chocolate you snack on is loaded with milk and sugar 2) salads are great if you want to put a lot of water and fiber in your stomach so you eat less of something else, but they're not great if you're looking to get a lot of nutrition 3) Saute! Saute your leafy greens in olive oil (don't worry about extra virgin, the whole smoke point thing is mostly a myth unless you're deep frying), maybe with a little bit of garlic for taste. Cooking most leafy greens (NOT BOILING) and consuming them with oil substantially boosts the bioavailability of most micronutrients and cooking out the water reduces the volume by a huge amount. That 3 cups of spinach is a fairly reasonable portion once cooked. You might lose some of the fiber in cooking, but you're eating so much more of it that it's a net gain. One thing that you tend to lose a lot of when cooking is vitamin C, but a splash of lemon juice after cooking a) has vitamin C, b) increases the bioavailability of non-heme iron, and c) counteracts the bitterness. You can also use any kind of vinegar (preferably balsamic), but you wouldn't get the vitamin C.

Hello Fresh claims it delivers "fresh" food. However, that's not likely if you live where there is winter 1/2- 3/4 of the year. Nowhere on the packaging does it mention where the produce in your particular boxes comes from. So how "fresh" is it really? When I was with Hello Fresh , my boxes came via UPS. Since the minimum order for Hello Fresh is 3 meals for 2 people, if you live alone, or are the only one who eats the meals, chances are your produce will sit in your fridge for at LEAST 6 days (unless you eat Hello Fresh exclusively). Not only does it lose nutritional value, but it could still result in food waste (produce going bad by the time you get to the last one).
