At all times, oatmeal was considered one of the most useful cereals, everyone, without exception, was advised to use it, because oatmeal creates a protective shell on the walls of the stomach, which prevents the development of gastritis, ulcers and erosion on the mucous membrane, improves the digestion process, and thereby, promotes weight loss … Currently, views on oatmeal have changed, now it is advised to alternate with other cereals. So why can't you eat a lot of oatmeal?
Of course, it is not recommended to completely exclude oatmeal, but you still need to add buckwheat, corn or millet porridge for breakfast.
Oatmeal contains a lot of protein and dietary fiber, as well as vitamins K, E, A and PP, as well as all vitamins from the B series. There are also essential trace elements such as potassium, magnesium, iron, aluminum, copper, phosphorus and many others. Eating oatmeal regularly, but not consistently, can help lower blood cholesterol levels, normalize liver and kidney function, as well as improve brain function and stimulate memory.
But there is still harm from the constant use of oatmeal. Oatmeal contains phytic acid, which prevents the proper absorption of calcium. If you do not receive it from the outside, for example, from tablet preparations, then over time it will begin to wash out of the bones and entail the development of serious diseases such as osteoporosis. For those who cannot do without oatmeal for breakfast, you need to reduce the portion to a minimum.
In addition to nutrients, oatmeal contains a fairly large amount of starch, which in our body is converted into sugar, thereby increasing the level of glucose in the blood. This process puts an extra burden on the pancreas and can trigger the development of diabetes. But, diabetes is already in extreme cases, but unprocessed sugars can be deposited on the internal organs and provoke obesity.
Any product, even the most useful one, should be consumed in moderation, as it can also harm our body.
