Put the chips and donuts away and grab some Popcorn!




 

5 reasons why you should enjoy your popcorn more often?

  • It is 100 percent unprocessed whole grain
  • This low-calorie snack has fewer than 100 calories per 3-cup serving.
  • Popcorn's fibrous non-digestible husk takes longer for you to chew, allowing your body to register that it is full which assists in preventing you from overeating.
  •  The insoluble fiber content of popcorn makes it sit in your stomach for a while, keeping you feeling satisfied between meals.
  •  Additionally, the high fiber content can help prevent your risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and diverticular disease, says the Linus Pauling Institute.

But what can I put on it?

  • Air pop your popcorn with coconut oil! This oil is amazing, it is hard to grasp the fact that something so yum is good for you,  it aids in poor digestion, tummy bloating and has been found to benefit digestive disorders including irritable bowel syndrome. Fatty acids in coconut oil contain anti microbial properties, which have a soothing affect on bacteria, candida, or parasites that cause poor digestion.
