The new year is a time for fresh starts, and for many, that means focusing on health. Going to the gym, dry January, eating well. But eating well doesn’t have to mean giving up your favorite foods. At Bocado Pizza, we specialize in sourdough pizza that’s not just delicious but also fits seamlessly into a healthy lifestyle.
The Nutritional Edge of Sourdough Pizza
- Digestive Health: Sourdough is naturally fermented, making it rich in probiotics and easier to digest than traditional doughs. Studies from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) show that fermented foods can promote gut health by increasing beneficial bacteria.
- Low Glycemic Index: Thanks to its fermentation process, sourdough bread has a lower glycemic index, helping to maintain steady blood sugar levels, as noted by Harvard Health.
- Nutrient Absorption: Fermentation also helps break down phytic acid, allowing your body to absorb more nutrients from the grains.
Tips for a Balanced Pizza Meal
- Add leafy greens like arugula or kale as toppings.
- Choose lean protein options such as grilled chicken to top your margherita pizza
- Pair your pizza with red wine for those antioxidants!
