On March 14th 'White Day', sweet desserts are exchanged to express their feelings between lovers. It is mainly candy, chocolate, cake, etc. It is a feast of refined carbohydrates full of white sugar and flour. They can raise blood sugar quickly, causing insulin secretion to increase rapidly, causing body fat accumulation.

However, not all white foods are unhealthy. Surprisingly, there are many 'good white foods' that can help reduce body fat, strengthen intestinal health, and strengthen immunity. This is summarized with the help of Son Bo-ri, CEO of 365mc Yeongdeungpo branch.

◇ red? Blue?What's your dieter's favorite color?




365mc big data division Hobbit analyzed the diet diet uploaded in February of its diet coaching app 'recognition unit' using artificial intelligence. A total of 40,000 photos were used for data collection.

As a result, the colors that showed the highest number, that is, the colors most included in the diet, were 'red family (brown, orange, pink, 20.22%)' such as whole-grain bread and grilled food. △Green such as vegetables and salads (green and olive), 12.20% △Black such as laver and seaweed, 10.02% △White such as boiled eggs and rice, 8.12% followed. In fact, many dieters included 'white food' in their diet.

◇If you want to 'degenerate' with protein supplementation




First, there is a white food that is good for protein supplementation. Chicken breast, tofu, and white fish are beneficial white foods that help lose body fat while maintaining muscle mass due to their low fat content and rich protein.

Chicken breast is a high-protein, low-fat food and is a key ingredient that does not fall out of the diet diet. Since 100g of chicken breast contains 31g of protein, only 150g (protein content 56g) of 60-70kg adult standard can meet the recommended daily amount.

Tofu, which is rich in plant protein, contains 8 g of protein per 100 g. Although the protein content is less than that of chicken breasts, the amount of calories in tofu half hair (about 100g) is 84 kcal, which is half of that of chicken breasts (165 kcal per 100g). In addition, it is effective for dieting due to high satiety, preventing overeating and high levels of amino acids, calcium, and iron needed for metabolism.




White-fleshed fish is also rich in protein and contains less fat than red-fleshed fish, so it is recommended to dieters. Calories are also only 96-104 kcal per 100g and contain 20g of protein. △ Daegu △ pollack △ flounder △ domi.

◇If you're worried about constipation during your diet? 'This kind of food'

There are also white vegetables that help intestinal health. For dieters, foods that aid in activation of intestinal motility are particularly important. When you start a diet, you often reduce the amount of meals, because intestinal exercise is easy to slow down in the process.

In this case, cabbage, radish, and onion can play the role. These white foods are rich in dietary fiber, which activates beneficial bacteria in the intestine and helps smooth digestion.

Cabbage helps the intestinal peristalsis to soften the stool and reduce the time spent in the intestine. In addition, the vitamin U component of cabbage has the effect of protecting the gastric mucosa, so it is recommended for people with weak stomachs. Radish is rich in diastase, a digestive enzyme. This promotes digestion and makes the stomach comfortable. In particular, it helps digest and absorb digestion, reducing the burden when eating fatty foods.

Allicin, an ingredient contained in onions, stimulates the mucous membranes of the stomach and intestines to cause digestive secretion and is effective for intestinal inertia. In particular, onions are known to be effective in preventing gastritis by inhibiting the growth of Helicobacter pylori in the stomach.

Sohn said, `If you eat too protein-oriented diet to increase muscle, it can cause constipation"Increasing the amount of exercise can consume a lot of water in the body, making the stool hard and worsening constipation.", he pointed out. He then advised that "'Drink enough water at this time and add white food rich in dietary fiber at every meal' to make your daily life more comfortable.'

◇If you want to 'energy boosting' while on a diet...

If you go on a diet, you eat less, but your activity increases, which makes it easy to lose energy. In this case, it is helpful to eat food that increases immunity and activates metabolism.

Why don't you use white food such as garlic and bellflower root as ingredients. They contain a lot of 'Anthoxanthin'. This inhibits oxidative action in the body, expelling harmful substances from the body and increasing immunity, increasing resistance to bacteria and viruses. Increased immunity reduces the risk of various diseases that can occur during diet and increases persistence.

Garlic produces a substance called 'Ajoene' during the heating process, which has the effect of making fat cells healthy. Therefore, it prevents metabolic diseases such as diabetes and prevents obesity. Bellflower is rich in saponins. This has the advantage of being able to see a diet effect as it has a detox effect that discharges various waste products. Sohn said "Not all white food is the enemy of diet. Refined white food should be avoided, but healthy white food from nature can help you lose weight and stay healthy"Why don't you watch your health with your lover and healthy white food instead of sweet candy this White Day?"
