Those who have adhered to the principles of a healthy diet at least once know perfectly well that porridge is the perfect breakfast dish. Cereals enrich the body with complex carbohydrates, as well as vitamins and minerals. Carbohydrates are necessary for the body in the morning, because during the night the liver processes them very actively.
A small portion of porridge gives the body warmth, energy and efficiency. In addition, all cereals contain fiber, which has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the digestive organs.
Buckwheat is at the top of the five most useful and most popular cereals. Buckwheat porridge gives a long-lasting feeling of satiety, stimulates digestion, enriches the brain with B vitamins, and the iron contained in cereals has a beneficial effect on blood composition.
The second place is occupied by oatmeal, only cooked in a saucepan, and not a semi-finished product from a bag. In addition to the vitamins and microelements that porridge endows the body with, it also envelops the walls of the stomach, preventing the development of gastritis and ulcers.
The third place of honor is occupied by rice groats. Rice contains a lot of potassium, which has a positive effect on the heart muscle. It is better to abstain from rice porridge for people with diabetes, due to its high starch content.
The top five are closed by semolina and millet porridge, vitamins in them are an order of magnitude less than in the previous three, but the presence of fiber eliminates the feeling of hunger for a long time. When choosing cereals for cooking porridge, you need to stop at ordinary cereals in plastic bags, they cook a little longer, but the benefits to the body are incomparable. Nutritionists also advise preparing fresh porridge every morning.
