Pasta has been one of the basic elements of our diet for centuries.
During the 80's, the discovery of Mediterranean Diet effectiveness put the emphasis on this food-model and relaunched it against several pathologies, especially the cardiovascular ones. Accordingly, pasta too was
re-evaluated. Pasta mainly provides complex carbohydrates (starch), which should represent the most important element of our diet, since they develop easily usable energy. Pasta contains very little lipid and a good
percentage of proteins, especially of glutamic acid which stimulates cerebral activity. And it's not true that pasta makes fat, as 100 g of it provide 350 calories and sate much more than some other food with the same caloric
content. So.... ENJOY YOUR MEAL!! |
