Flour: an ally for health

The LARN Reference Nutrient Intake Levels are nutritional recommendations that establish the amounts of nutrients and energy needed to meet nutritional requirements, as well as the amounts that, if exceeded, could have negative effects on health.

These are reference values for the Italian population, compiled by SINU (Italian Society of Human Nutrition) and adapted to different age groups, genders, and physiological conditions.

Farina Intera allows you to obtain products with the same taste and appearance as those made with refined flours, but with completely different nutritional characteristics.

Farina Intera is white in color and has excellent palatability, high digestibility, and a low glycemic index. By not interfering with the absorption of therapies and avoiding glycemic spikes, Farina Intera Varvello is suitable for all age groups: from children to the elderly, from healthy individuals to those with conditions such as diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

Nutrition and health

To maintain good health, it is important to eat properly. The necessary nutrients are macronutrients—carbohydrates, proteins, and fats—micronutrients—vitamins, minerals, water, and fiber.

Do not skip breakfast, which is an essential meal for the well-being of the body and for performing daily activities at your best.

Breakfast should contain cereals, proteins, and healthy fats, following the guidelines for healthy eating provided by Harvard Medical School. Carbohydrates are an essential source of energy for the body and account for about 50% of our daily requirements, as they are the fuel for our body, while fats account for 20% and proteins 15%. Eating light dinners promotes a good night’s sleep.
