Say Hello to Healthy Pizza
- 11 years ago
Say hello to healthy pizza.
Dr. Mike Lean, a British nutrition professor, doesn’t believe that saying hello to healthy has to mean bidding adieu to pizza.
To prove it, he’s been working with Eat Balance and has designed a pizza that’s nutritionally balanced and tasty.
Making sure the pies had everything from A to zinc and kept that great pizza taste wasn’t easy, but he and the Eat Balance team ultimately solved the puzzle.
To get to their goal, they had to take some unconventional steps, like adding seaweed to the crust and red peppers to the sauce.
The pizzas are available in the UK, but Lean sees them being enjoyed much further afield. He’d like to see them go to Mars and plans to recommend a three per day diet of them to NASA.
He may have a little more development to do, though, as nutritional needs in space are a little different than here on Earth.
For example, zero gravity takes its toll on the bones requiring astronauts to increase their calcium intake. Then again, extra cheese might just make it even better.
