HellaWella.com says Rethink the War on Carbs: Pasta is not the enemy!
HellaWella.com tells us that we need to reclaim pasta as a healthy food. In a recent article entitled “Pasta is not the enemy: Why we need to rethink the war on carbs,” HellaWella.com explains why pasta should be in the health food category and why low-carb diets should be out!
The article notes a few important reasons why you should not be afraid to eat pasta including:
- The nutrients and carbohydrates found in pasta are essential for proper health! Carbs are the fuel for the body, fiber helps us to digest, and folate helps red blood cells to function.
- Studies have linked pasta-rich diet to healthier weight and improved quality of life.
- Pasta is a low glycemic food and whole wheat pastas can have an even greater effect on the glycemic index.
We agree with everything that HellaWella.com has said – stop the war on carbs! If you have any questions about how pasta fits into your diet, please visit our Pasta Nutrition section.
