the nutritionist’s opinion

The Mediterranean Diet is recognized worldwide as one of the best in the world to support a longer and healthier life. This diet provides a balanced supply of nutrients:

– 50-55% of carbohydrates from fruits, vegetables, cereals and legumes.

– 30% mono and polyunsaturated fats from extra virgin olive oil and oil-rich seeds.

– 15% protein from fish, eggs, legumes, and meat.

Therefore, in the right quantities, meat is a desirable and ideal food, as much as other foods in a varied diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables. It is, of course, fundamentally important that the meat, although preserved, be as natural as possible. With the advent of the modernization of industrial food production, producers have massively used chemical additives to make their products look better, be tastier and have a longer shelf life. But often miracles don’t exist. Substances such as polyphosphates, nitrites, and nitrates, although useful for commercialization, can be a health hazard especially for those who, for pleasure or necessity, frequently eat foods that contain them. That is why with its “Senza” line, Da Pian offers a range of products that is free of these chemical additives while providing a top-level product. A sound choice for those who do not want to give up the pleasure of meat and still pursue a lifestyle in line with health.

No Polyphosphates

Commonly used in the food industry, polyphosphates are used to retain water, in order to preserve the physical and chemical characteristics of products over time. The problem is that they retain calcium, as well as magnesium and iron, and hinder their absorption into our bodies. The effects of polyphosphate uptake on our health are:

– hyperactivity in small children

– increased cholesterol

– kidney and digestive disorders

– lack of assimilation of calcium, which is very important for growth.

Therefore, for our children, we should always choose products that are free of these substances, in fact polyphosphates are not allowed in baby foods for babies aged 0-3 years.

No Nitrites

Nitrites are commonly used to preserve the integrity, colour, and appearance of preserved meats, and also give them a slightly salty flavour.

These preservatives also act as antimicrobials and antiseptics, protecting meat against botulism.

Maintaining the pink or red colour of meat, however, is the main reason for the presence of nitrites in food.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which is part of the World Health Organisation, has recognised nitrites as possible carcinogens.

Their dangerousness is due to the possible chemical transformations they undergo in our bodies.

No Glutamate

Glutamate is an artificial additive that the food industry uses to enhance the flavour of foods.

As to its effects on human health, while scientific findings are controversial, its excessive use is thought to cause tachycardia, nausea, migraine, and headache.

One thing is certain, this additive is useless and deceptive; many people, unfortunately, are no longer accustomed to natural flavours;

Glutamate simply hides them, fooling their taste buds.

Ideal at any time of day

Da Pian’s “Senza” delicacies are practical and tasty, ideal at any time of day: for a hearty breakfast, at lunch, for an afternoon break or dinner.

Accompanied by fresh vegetables, in tasty sandwiches, as appetizers, and as snacks, the “Senza” products are a natural and wholesome way to obtain the right daily protein intake!
