From today, dried fruits start and see differently! Why would you say that? Because after studies conducted in recent years, experts have concluded that almonds, nuts, sticks, apricots, etc. - have much fewer calories than previously thought. How was such a conclusion reached?
Calories are generally calculated using "Fatherwater factors", a method developed by the famous 20th century chemist Wilbur Fatherwater. According to his theory, we get 4 calories for every protein we eat, 4 calories for every gram of carbohydrate and 9 calories for every gram of fat. Since then, calories are usually calculated by multiplying the number of grams of each macronutrient by 4 or 9 and finally adding them up.
In recent years, other researchers have estimated that this type of calculation does not apply to dried fruits and their true calories. For example, 18 pieces of apricots had 137 calories instead of 163 as defined by the "Father" method, while 23 almonds translated into 129 calories and not 168. The calories of sticks and nuts were found to be 5 and 21% less than thought respectively. so far, calculated by the "Father" method.
So no matter how many calories are read on the labels of their packaging, it is certain that they are less than that. Even fewer calories, dried fruits remain very nutritious.
They are rich in unsaturated fats, omega-3, fiber and vitamins. Including them in your diet can promote weight loss. Consume controlled amounts.
Almonds in particular are an excellent source of vitamin E, which can help repair skin tissue, retain skin moisture, and protect the skin from harmful UV rays. They contain omega-3 anti-inflammatory fatty acids that can help strengthen skin cell membranes, protect the skin from sun damage and preserve its natural oil.
