Digestive biscuits: In today's busy life, let alone eating and drinking properly, even going to the gym has become difficult. This is not only increasing weight, but also causing many diseases at a young age.
There are many medicines and food items available in the market that are claimed to be helpful in weight loss as well as beneficial for health.
One of these is 'digestive biscuit', which people often consider healthy and think that eating it will not lead to weight gain. But a new research has found this claim to be completely wrong.
Digestive biscuits were originally made for people who suffer from constipation. These biscuits are easily digested and there is no harm in eating one or two biscuits with tea occasionally.
But be careful, these biscuits are a perfect example of processed food and doctors are against eating them, mainly due to these reasons:
Material:
Digestive biscuits contain fibre, protein, vitamins and minerals, which are good for health. But they also contain sugar, fat, sodium and refined flour, which contribute to weight gain.
Use of preservatives:
Have you ever noticed that digestive biscuits get spoiled or get mouldy? No! This means that preservatives are used in them, which can be harmful to health.
More calories:
A digestive biscuit contains about 50 calories, which can lead to weight gain. The sugar, fat and sodium present in it provide unhealthy calories to the body, which can be harmful to health. So do not make the mistake of considering these biscuits as healthy and consume them in limited quantities.
