Is Ponmo actually healthy for your body?

June 27,2020
Share:

Ponmo and rice, ponmo and beans, ponmo and Abacha, the list could go on and on and on because ponmo can literally go with anything but have we ever stopped to ask ourselves “Is this food beneficial to my health?”

 

Is Ponmo healthy for your body?

Source Dobby’s signature

Contrary to popular belief, ponmo boasts of a certain kind of protein called collagen (though low) which is important for holding bones and skin tissues in place.

* It also a good dietary roughage as it helps with the process of digestion.

* Ponmo is also not so hard on our pockets as it’s relatively cheap 😉

*It is a low-calorie food which could be eaten by weight watchers but I STRONGLY advise that you supplement it with highly nutritious foods

*The nutritional value of a 40-gram piece of ponmo is:* Calories – 37
Total fat – 0g

Saturated fat – 0g

Poly saturated fat – 0g

Monosaturated fat – 0g

Trans fat – 0g

Cholesterol – 0g

Sodium – 0mg

Can someone on a weight loss journey eat unlimited ponmo since it has no nutritional value?

Ponmo has no nutritional value but has calories. So for weight loss, Moderation is key

It has also been pointed out that ponmo may contain some protein. Collagen is a protein in skin, muscle, and meat of animals but there is something called Protein Quality. Collagen is not a complete protein because it is lacking in the amino acid tryptophan.

From a nutritional point of view, collagen and gelatin are poor-quality sole source of protein since they do not contain all the essential amino acids in the proportions that the human body requires—they are not ‘complete proteins’.
