Pasta is known as a world-famous food, and it can be used in preparing different dishes, in addition to being easy to prepare and suitable for adults and children.

In her report, published by the Russian “FBRI” website, Sofia Andreeva touched on the health benefits of pasta, and what happens to the body when eating it daily.

Pasta is usually made from durum wheat, and its nutritional value is determined by the type of flour from which it is made, the best being whole-grain pasta.

A cup of cooked pasta (about 140 grams) contains the following, according to the USDA database:

Calories: 220
Fat: 1.3 grams
Carbs: 43 grams
Protein: 8 grams
Dietary fiber: 2.5 g
Pasta also contains vitamin B6 and iron.
This is what will happen to the body when you eat pasta daily:

You will get energy
After eating a plate of pasta, you may feel a huge increase in the level of energy because it is an important source of carbohydrates. After passing through the digestive system, carbohydrates are converted into glucose, which enters the bloodstream and rushes to all cellular structures to provide them with energy.

feeling full
Whole-wheat pasta contains a high amount of fiber, which increases in size when interacting with water to take up more space in the stomach, creating a feeling of satiety. This is especially useful for people who cannot control their appetite and constantly eat fatty meals. In general, nutritionists recommend increasing fiber in the diet in order to lose weight.

Build muscle mass
Protein is essential in building muscle mass. But without carbohydrates, it would be difficult to boost the body’s energy, which is why carbohydrates are such an important component of muscle gain.

After exercising, the body suffers from a lack of carbohydrates, so experts recommend following a healthy, balanced diet based on consuming 3 grams of carbohydrates for every 1 gram of protein.

Get rid of excess weight
Many believe that pasta is one of the foods that eating it leads to weight gain, but this is not true, as it helps to lose weight and does not negatively affect weight loss attempts, which is confirmed by many experiments.

A person can go on a diet to lose weight even with pasta, because the deciding factor is the amount of pasta consumed and other items you include in your diet.

balanced diet
Although pasta is a healthy food, this does not mean that your diet should be based on it. Rather, it is necessary to diversify your food sources and eat as balanced meals as possible that include various essential nutrients for the body.

And if pasta is a staple on the lunch or dinner table, you can add protein such as fish, meat, vegetables and legumes to it.
