Longevity expert Dan Buettner highlights air-popped popcorn as a nutritious snack. It's rich in fiber, complex carbohydrates, and polyphenols, providing more polyphenols than many vegetables. This snack can help lower blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and the risk of serious health conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. The high fiber content helps with weight management by promoting fullness. To reap its health benefits, popcorn should be air-popped rather than cooked with butter. Simple methods, like using a brown paper bag or popping in a pot, make preparation easy.
Air-popped popcorn is high in fiber, complex carbohydrates, and polyphenols, making it a wonderful, affordable snack choice that can contribute to longevity.
Whole grains like popcorn can reduce blood pressure and LDL cholesterol, thus lowering risks of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and colon cancer.
