Russians urged to eat raisins regularly
Gastroenterologist Vladimir Loginov said that raisins are rich in vitamins K and B.
Raisins contain many vitamins, minerals and antioxidants necessary for the functioning of various body systems, said Vladimir Loginov, a gastroenterologist at the Evronko clinic and a candidate of medical sciences. In a commentary to Lenta.ru, the doctor urged Russians to eat raisins regularly.
According to doctors, raisins are an excellent source of energy because they are rich in carbohydrates, especially natural sugars such as glucose and fructose. They also contain vitamins, including vitamin K, B vitamins, as well as potassium, magnesium, iron, calcium and phosphorus.
Raisins are also rich in antioxidants, which protect cells from damage and aging. This product also helps normalize digestion, as it contains fiber, which is important for normal bowel movements.
Raisins contain boron, calcium and magnesium, which are good for bone health, Loginov added.
The doctor stressed that despite all the benefits of this product, it should be consumed in moderation due to its high sugar content. This is especially important for people suffering from diabetes or monitoring their weight.
"In addition, the sugar contained in raisins can cause tooth decay. This is especially true if you do not brush your teeth after eating raisins. "Before including raisins in your diet, especially in large quantities, it is advisable to consult a doctor or nutritionist," the doctor advised.
Earlier, gastroenterologist Svetlana Ilyashenko warned about the dangers of quick snacks. According to her, because of haste, food is not digested properly and nutrients are not absorbed.
