I think we've all wondered sometime while having a pizza, is this going to make me fat? Is there any way eating a pizza can be healthy?
Well let me answer for you these question: it depends...
First we have to review the ingredients a normal pizza is made of:
1- Flour
2- Tomato Sauce
3- Cheese
4- Any extra Ingredient
It all comes down to how healthy the ingredients we are using to make this pizza are, if we would like to do a normal "not that healthy pizza" we could use some of the normal common ingredients:
1- Flour: all purpose flour or any type similar who is really low on fiber, protein content, vitamins and resembles to the common white flour we can find in every supermarket.
2-Tomato Sauce: In this case we would use a canned tomato sauce which is really high in salt and preservatives.
3-Cheese: The most popular cheese used in the preparation of pizza nowadays is chedar cheese which is really high on salt.
4- Any extra ingredient: as this is the not healthy pizza we would choose as an extra ingredient some extra pepperoni and bacon full of nitrites and salt.
Now for the healthy pizza, lets see what is the difference:
1-Flour: this time we will choose a healthy flour like whole wheat flour pizza which is entirely recommended and still helps you to have a great flavor with absolutely no regrets.
2-Tomato Sauce: We could buy some fresh tomatoes at the supermarket and make our own homemade tomato sauce or instead buy a healthy tomato sauce 100% natural with no salt added and free of preservatives and artificial flavors.
3-Cheese: In this case we could use mozarella with a really low salt content or if possible with absolutely no salt added, this cheese has a high protein content with 28g for every 100g.
4- Any extra ingredient: for this extra ingredients any vegetable or even fruit (pineapple e.g.) will do, and we can add as many and much as we want to with no problem at all!
