Pizza is one of the most popular dishes around the world, known for its versatility and taste. However, eating it every day can have health consequences. Therefore, it is important to know how a daily pizza diet can affect your health and how many times a week you should enjoy this delicious dish, states Marca.
What happens to the body if you eat pizza every day
Weight gain
Pizza is often high in calories, saturated fat, and refined carbohydrates. Eating it every day can lead to excess calories, which can lead to weight gain and obesity.
Cardiovascular problems
This dish contains ingredients such as fatty cheeses and sausages that are high in saturated fat and sodium. Excessive consumption can increase the risk of heart disease, hypertension, and high cholesterol.
Nutritional deficiencies
If pizza becomes the mainstay of your daily diet, you may miss out on essential nutrients found in other foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. This can lead to long-term nutritional deficiencies.
Digestive problems
A diet high in processed foods and low in fiber (like a lot of pizza) can cause digestive problems, such as constipation or indigestion.
Elevated risk of type 2 diabetes
Frequent consumption of foods high in sugar and refined carbohydrates can contribute to the development of insulin resistance, increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes.
How much pizza can you eat
Know the measure
To maintain a healthy lifestyle, it is recommended to limit your pizza consumption to one or two times a week. This allows you to enjoy the taste without harming your health.
Choice healthier options
When you decide to eat pizza, choose healthier options. For example, choose whole wheat, add fresh vegetables as toppings, and consider options with less cheese or lean meat.
Balance with other foods
Make sure you balance your diet throughout the week by including a variety of nutritious foods such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, and lean protein to get all the nutrients you need.
