Gastroenterologists have named the best ingredients for pizza to make the dish beneficial for the body

How to make pizza as healthy as possible.

Gastroenterologists said that when using classic ingredients, pizza becomes a source of essential minerals and vitamins. For example, tomatoes add lycopene, a plant pigment with antioxidant properties that helps protect body cells, cheese provides calcium, and meat and seafood saturate the dish with protein. In addition, vegetables add fiber. However, it is worth remembering that pizza is a high-calorie product, so it is important to maintain a balance, informs Ukr.Media.

Pizza is quite easy to make, and at home you can make it especially healthy. Instead of regular flour for the dough, it is better to use whole grain flour and add flax seeds. For the filling, choose low-calorie ingredients: seafood (mussels, shrimp, salmon), lean white chicken meat, fresh tomatoes and various vegetables, as well as hard low-fat cheese, doctors advise.
