The ancient Greeks defined figs as &#8220;philosophers&#8217; fruit&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although they have a very sweet flavour,&nbsp;<strong>fresh figs<\/strong>&nbsp;are not very rich in calories (around 74 per 100 grams of product), and contain very low percentages of fat and protein. Below we list the main properties of figs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Soluble fibers\u00a0<strong>help lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels<\/strong>\u00a0, and help regulate intestinal transit. The most important fiber in figs is pectin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thanks to the fibre, figs can help us lose weight due to their\u00a0<strong>satiating effect<\/strong>\u00a0and mild laxative power. Eating 2 or 3 figs before meals helps reduce appetite.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Figs contain omega 3 and 6 fatty acids which, together with potassium, help\u00a0<strong>prevent various disorders associated with the cardiovascular system<\/strong>\u00a0, such as hypertension and coronary problems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The minerals in figs, especially calcium and magnesium, convert them into suitable fruits to keep\u00a0<strong>the nervous and musculoskeletal systems in good condition<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Like all fruits that contain natural sugars, figs also give energy and\u00a0<strong>improve the mood<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Regular consumption of figs\u00a0<strong>prevents macular degeneration<\/strong>\u00a0, especially among adults over 60 years of age.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With their soft skin, sweet pulp and the crunchy touch of the seeds,\u00a0figs\u00a0are highly appreciated fruits in Italy and very nutritious.
