Health Benefits of Popcorn
Often considered to be junk food, popcorn can actually be part of a healthy diet. Popcorn has a few health benefits, but they are important ones.
Full of Fiber
-
Popcorn is high in fiber, an important substance for the body that encourages healthy digestion and regularity.
A Healthy Snack
-
When it's not coated in butter or fattening oils, popcorn can be a very healthy replacement for potato chips and other high-calorie snacks that are often full of saturated fat.
A Whole Grain
-
Popcorn, like any other whole grain, diminishes the risk of heart disease and diabetes.
Easy on the Butter
-
Popcorn is healthiest in its butter-free, air-popped variety. Adding butter or oil can increase the level of saturated fat.
Low In Calories
-
Unbuttered popcorn only has about 40 calories per cup.
