The mixture helps to reduce the production of free radicals, which can contribute to the reduction of inflammatory processes in the body
The “flour of happiness” so called has gained ground on the shelves of natural products and arousing curiosity among consumers who seek alternatives to improve health and even assist in the weight loss process. But after all, what’s behind this promising name?
According to Dr. Nutrologist Dr. Isolda Prado, director of the Brazilian association of Nutrology (Abran), the product is a food compound that mixes different functional flour. The formulation can vary, but usually includes oat, flax seeds, Psychlio, Peruvian maca and almond flour, among other ingredients.
Potential benefits
According to the expert, the consumption of this type of compound can offer important nutritional advantages:
- Antioxidant action: Helps to reduce the production of free radicals, which can contribute to the reduction of inflammatory processes in the body.
- Intestinal health: The presence of fibers promotes the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and helps in the regularization of intestinal transit.
- Vitality and libido: In some versions, the Peruvian stretcher can provide further benefits relating to the physical and sexual disposition.
“The ingestion of this type of food is interesting because it has an antioxidant potential with a reduced production of free radicals and an improvement in the inflammatory question in the body. With the presence of fibers it can regularize the gastrointestinal tract and the Peruvian stretcher has a certain action on libido and vitality”, says dr. Island.
Care and contraindications
Despite the advantages, the nutrologist warns possible risks. People with celiac disease or gluten intolerance should avoid consumption as there may be cross -contamination during production. In addition, allergic to any of the ingredients can have adverse immunological reactions.
Another point of attention is that flour should not be used as a substitute for main meals, as it does not contain all the nutrients necessary to ensure a daily diet balance.
“It can be used as a supplement or also as a replacement of intermediate power supplies, but not as a complete meal,” says the expert.
Does the happiness of flour loses weight?
When it comes to weight loss, the doctor says that “happiness flour” has no direct effect on weight loss. What can happen in some cases is a caloric deficit if the product replaces very caloric foods from the usual menu. However, a healthy weight loss depends on a combination of factors such as balanced diet and regular physical activity.
