Top 4 in Top 5 Health Benefits of Parsnips
Parsnips are a great addition to a healthy weight reduction diet because they are low in calories and high in fiber. Your digestive tract processes fiber slowly, which helps you feel satisfied for a longer period of time and may help you eat less overall. One study found that increasing daily fiber consumption by 14 grams could reduce calorie intake by as much as 10%, resulting in weight loss of 4 pounds (1.9 kg) over the course of four months.
Only 100 calories and 6.5 grams of fiber are contained in one cup (133 grams) of parsnips. This root vegetable also contains a lot of water, 79.5% to be exact. According to studies, consuming more foods high in water may lead to fewer calories consumed and more weight loss.
