Why Sushi is important to Diet?

KOMPAS.com - Thank the researchers because they can always find something good (and bad of course) in foods or habits that we do. This was no exception at the sushi.

In America, sushi is often "accused" as foods with high levels of mercury. The New York Times once conducted laboratory tests found so much mercury in tuna in 20 restaurants and shops in the area of Manhattan, New York City. Therefore, it is considered as a type of sushi tuna sushi that contain the highest mercury levels. There is also a guy in Chicago who demanded a sushi bar because he was issued a 2.7-meter long tapeworm after eating raw salmon.

However, this concern is debatable. Many suspected that the problem arises when the fish used in sushi is not cooked. As for sushi with fish that have been through the process of actually cooking a good nutritional value, low calorie, and low in fat. Sushi salmon contain vitamin D, and sticky rice on sushi ingredients provide good carbs for energy.

Japanese food is also popular as a weight loss diet. Elements that provide such benefits is nori, dried seaweed used to wrap sushi. British researchers say that the nori has the potential to reduce the retention of body fat to 75 percent.

The more interesting of these findings, "If we can add natural fiber in the foods we typically eat every day, such as bread, biscuits and yogurt, almost 3 / 4 of the fat contained in food could disappear from our body," said Dr Iain Brownlee, researchers from the University of Newscastle.

However, you need a little careful with snacks such as dried nori sheets that we usually find in supermarkets. This snack is usually already flavored, so it was tasty. Although the shape of thin, you would not have spent so calorie conscious.
