What do you prefer for breakfast? I do not know about you, but I start my day with porridge!
In today's article, I'll tell you what seven scientists called the cereal the most useful and why!
For some people, porridge may not seem to be the most exciting product, but still the porridge is best suited for the first meal, as it is easily but slowly digested and contains complex carbohydrates that will give you energy for several hours.
But not all cereals are equally useful, nutritionists recommend cooking porridge only from whole-grain cereals!
So, let's find out which cereal is the most useful? For those who aspire to a correct, healthy diet, nutritionists have identified the top 7 most useful cereals.
- Flax
Flax porridge, to put it mildly, is not the most popular porridge. It is worth noting that this is not really cereal, it is more like a seed. In European countries, the cult of flax products began about 10 years ago, now in our country in many supermarkets you can find flax flour, cake and whole seed.
Flaxseed is a high protein product, it contains more than 30% protein, and the carbohydrate and fat content is less than 30%. This porridge is perfect for athletes to gain muscle mass.
Linseed porridge contains a very large amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids, since flaxseed oil, which is contained in flax seed, is the No. 1 product for the content of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Also, linseed porridge contains oligonucleotides and oligosugars, which feed our healthy bacteria living in the large intestine and help digest food!
About 40% of flaxseed are coarse dietary fibers that normalize the peristalsis of our intestines.
A huge amount of B vitamins contained in linseed porridge, have a beneficial effect on the nervous system.
Another important substance that is contained in this porridge, it is lignin, is proved that this substance reduces the likelihood of breast cancer!
In general, a very useful and noteworthy porridge!
- Rice
Unlike flax, rice is the most used product in the world, it is prepared practically in all the cuisines of the world.
Rice is useful for the work of the brain, because it contains a substance - thiamine, which stimulates its work.
It also contains pyridoxine, which serves to support the nervous system.
Rice actively absorbs salt and thereby strengthens our joints.
There are different varieties of rice, but all these varieties are divided into two types: ground (white) and not polished (brown) rice, polished rice is the rice from which the shell is stripped, this shell contains a large number of B vitamins, iron , iodine, zinc, potassium and phosphorus. Also in this shell contains a large amount of fiber necessary for normal work and cleaning the intestines from toxins. Grinded white croup is devoid of all these charms, it has very few vitamins and almost no fiber (only about 3%).
In addition, white rice quickly absorbs and sharply raises blood glucose levels, in 2012, scientists from Harvard found that white purified rice provokes the emergence of type 2 diabetes, it has a very high glycemic index, so people with diabetes should refrain from using it.
Brown rice digests slower and slower saturates our body, the feeling of satiety persists for a longer time, because of the lack of "fast carbohydrates" there is no growth of glucose. In addition, folic acid, contained in brown rice, can reduce blood sugar.
Therefore, if possible, it is better to prefer brown brown rice!
- Millet
Millet is the fruit of a millet plant. This is a very ancient cereal, which is mentioned in the bible.
Despite its high caloric content (about 370 Kcal), millet has a rather low glycemic index. Millet does not stimulate the appetite. The millet contains a large amount of B vitamins (apparently like most of all cereals), especially vitamin B6, which improves metabolism and promotes weight loss.
Millet does not contain gluten (wheat protein), which is important for people with gluten intolerance, and there are many such, especially children. The foam fortifies the bones, as it contains a lot of phosphorus, which helps to keep calcium in the body.
Magnesium, which is also abundant in pine, improves cardiac activity. Scientists from South Korea have proven that millet reduces the risk of heart attacks and strokes, and reduces the level of bad cholesterol.
In general, the main advantage of millet porridge is that it gives a big charge of energy and at the same time promotes the synthesis of protein and the burning of fat.
- Corn
The homeland of corn is Latin America, for the first time corn appeared on the European continent in 1493, when Christopher Columbus brought it to Spain. There it was called maize, and on the territory of Russia it came in about the 17th or 18th century.
Corn grains contain such an element rare for the products, like silicon, which is needed to strengthen the enamel of the teeth.
It contains vitamins A, E and C, but most of all vitamins of group B, especially - B1, B2 and B3, it's PP. B1 helps us think faster and increases the speed of the reaction, that is, it is responsible for the transmission of nerve impulses. Vitamin B2 helps to form normal erythrocytes and normal hemoglobin. Vitamin B3 or PP improves the microcirculation of the brain and improves transmission of the nerve impulse, thereby reducing the risk of Alzheimer's disease, among other things, scientists from the United States proved it, and corn porridge is quite popular there.
- Perlovka
Pearl barley from English "pearl" is a pearl, it is the grain of barley, first of all the pearl barley is rich in a large amount of melatonin substance. The lack of this substance provokes a disturbance of sleep and anxious sensations, that is, the pearl barley is good to eat for dinner.
Pearl barley contains more fluoride and selenium than in other cereals, and it is a very good source of protein about 10%, of course, it is less than in linseed cereal, but still very good for cereals.
The most important thing is that the substance contains lysine in the pearl barley, it is an essential amino acid that our body can not work out on its own, it takes part in the construction of various protein compounds, in particular collagen, which is important for maintaining the elasticity of the vessels, the beauty of the skin and helping to heal wounds .
And of course, pearl barley contains a large amount of coarse dietary fiber, which is good for digestion.
And it is good for her to fish on fishing)))
- Oatmeal
Oatmeal, along with rice, is one of the most consumed products in the world!
The World Health Organization (WHO) refers oatmeal to foods that are beneficial to human health. Oatmeal has the optimal ratio of proteins, fats, carbohydrates and fiber to the human body.
Oatmeal contains soluble and insoluble (coarse) dietary fiber. Oatmeal porridge is very pleasant for the stomach, it seems to envelop the walls with its mucous mass. Coarse fibers help to cleanse and function the intestines, and soluble fibers help to reduce the level of bad cholesterol.
Recent research has shown that oatmeal is very useful for men, it stimulates the production of testosterone and strengthens men's health! The saponins contained in it bind and block the so-called sex-mutating hormone, which is in our body and lowers the level of testosterone.
B vitamins contained in oatmeal contribute to the health of the nervous system.
Oatmeal contains a large amount of manganese, which normalizes the production of insulin and regulates the processes of hematopoiesis.
Also, the oatmeal contains silicon, calcium and phosphorus.
The coarser and wholesome the grain of oatmeal, the more useful it is. Oatmeal porridge of fast cooking is deprived practically of all useful substances and rough dietary fibers, as it undergoes purification, it is squashed and subjected to hydro-thermal processing and drying. Because of the loss of coarse fibers in such oatmeal, there are basically fast carbohydrates, which are very quickly absorbed by the body and increase the level of sugar in the blood. Saturation from such a mess goes away too quickly.
Therefore, dear friends, choose coarser and unrefined oatmeal flakes that need to be cooked longer than 8 minutes, or even better cook porridge from whole-grain oatmeal. Although its preparation and takes several times more time than flakes, but the benefits from it will be much more! By the way, you can save time on cooking by simply chopping whole-grain cereal in a coffee grinder!
- Buckwheat

Buckwheat is included in many diets and slimming programs.
Buckwheat has a very low glycemic index. Due to this, it is recommended for people suffering from diabetes.
