Vietnamese breakfast dishes are 'highly praised' by American experts for being nutritious

(Dan Tri) - An American expert has written an article emphasizing the nutritional values ​​of pho, a familiar dish of Vietnamese people.

Nutritionist Daniel Preiato received his bachelor's degree in nutrition and food studies from New York University (USA). In addition, Preiato also runs a nutrition practice with clients who are athletes and residents of New York. He has written articles emphasizing the nutritional value of pho, a familiar dish of Vietnamese people. According to this expert, pho may seem like just a basic soup, but its ingredients bring many different benefits. According to Daniel Preiato, many ingredients in pho bring great health benefits such as: - Broth enhances bone and joint health: Pho bone broth contains glucosamine, chondroitin and collagen. Daniel Preiato emphasizes that all of these substances can enhance bone and joint health. In the body, glucosamine is the building block for cartilage and plays a role in stimulating the body to produce more cartilage.

This is a substance that is beneficial for osteoarthritis, slowing cartilage damage or reducing knee pain. There are several forms of glucosamine, including: glucosamine sulfate, glucosamine hydrochloride and N-acetyl glucosamine. - Ginger helps reduce inflammation: Ginger is one of the indispensable spices of pho. Ginger contains gingerol, a compound that has been shown to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant effects and can reduce pain and arthritis. Ginger also provides a certain amount of vitamins such as: vitamin C, vitamin B6 and minerals such as potassium, magnesium and manganese. These substances are important for overall health and body function. Spices with many medicinal values: Cinnamon, star anise, cardamom ... and herbs, green onions and chili peppers, according to Daniel Preiato, are all rich in nutrients and powerful anti-inflammatory compounds. For example, coriander and basil in pho are rich in polyphenols. These compounds have been linked to a reduced risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer. Good source of protein: Most versions of pho are rich in protein such as beef, pork, chicken or tofu (vegetarian pho). Daniel Preiato said that a bowl of pho usually contains about 30g of protein. Therefore, pho is considered a dish that provides abundant protein. Protein plays an important role in our body. It is one of the three essential nutrients (along with carbohydrates and fats). Protein is the main component of muscle. When we exercise or perform physical activities, our muscles are destroyed. Protein helps to regenerate and repair these muscle cells. In addition, protein is also the main component of many enzymes and hormones in the body. Enzymes help speed up chemical processes in the body, while hormones regulate various functions such as development, growth and water and salt balance. A dish that often goes with pho and is also highly appreciated by experts for its health benefits is poached eggs. Eggs are a perfect food, containing up to 60 nutrients. In particular, egg yolks contain the best source of cholesterol that humans can find in food. Scientific evidence also shows that, in general, a short cooking time will help preserve more nutrients in eggs. Although poached eggs are very good for health, people should choose reputable stores with quality food to enjoy this dish. Only eat clean eggs, eggshells that are not cracked, have holes or stains on the eggshell.
