Why semolina? (Continuity)
In general, semolina is a food that is low in fat and rich in complex carbohydrates and many nutrients, including protein, vitamins E and B, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium and calcium.
Also, semolina is a food that is low in cholesterol and sodium, rich in fiber and contains no harmful trans fatty acids. For these reasons semolina is a healthy food that can be safely incorporated into a well-balanced diet.
More specifically, its high carbohydrate content makes semolina a food that offers a lot of energy. This is especially important for people with intense activity, provided that it should be used in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
Semolina is also particularly beneficial because of the potassium it contains. Potassium helps in the proper functioning of the kidneys and the heart as well as in the smooth functioning of the muscles. The phosphorus contained in semolina helps with metabolism, magnesium to keep our muscles, bones and nervous system healthy, calcium to have strong bones and zinc to strengthen our immune system.
Also, the vitamin E it contains is an important antioxidant that helps prevent various diseases, since it helps fight the harmful effect of free radicals on healthy cells. The B vitamins contained in semolina have been shown to, among many other benefits, help the brain and nervous system to function properly while also helping to prevent birth defects.
Finally, the fiber contained in semolina can reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes, lower blood cholesterol levels, help control weight, protect against cancer and help the bowel function properly.
