Good Lifestyle

From childhood we say that oatmeal is the best breakfast. And in popularity with her can argue as an oment. Yes, there are still corn flakes, sandwiches, houses and other goodies, but none of these morning dishes is so often in the rankings of the most useful among nutritionists and anyone who tries to lead a healthy lifestyle.

Oatmeal is really very useful. It contains a large number of natural antioxidants that increase the resistance of the body to various infections and the influence of the external medium (radionuclides, heavy metal salts, stress). This porridge is rich in potassium, calcium, sodium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, vitamins B1, B2, PP, E. its tissue perfectly clears the intestine, and also contributes to the maintenance of normal blood sugar. The valuable oatmeal is also the presence of such an important element as a beta-glucan, which is able to significantly reduce the level of harmful cholesterol. In addition, oatmeal is still easily digested.

But there are honey and a spoon of tar - phytic acid in this barrel. This substance has the ability to accumulate in the body and lead to the washing of calcium from bone tissue. Therefore, oatmeal should be eaten in moderation and better not every morning, and by two times a week, alternating it with other breakfasts. So phytic acid will not make a dangerous level.

Another problem is the method of cooking oatmeal. Usually, oatmeal is prepared on milk with the addition of sugar, because so it is best tasting, especially in the morning. However, milk, especially with a high percentage of fat, increases the glycemic oatmeal index in 3-4 times. In addition, you should not forget about lactose intolerance. The Harvard School of Public Health (USA) has estimated that there are about 15% among Europe. And not everyone knows about their problem. You can time to take up abdominal bloating or spasms, but you will definitely do not associate it with useful, at first glance, breakfast.

And of course, sugar. It delays fluid in the body and sharply raises blood glucose. And if you enjoy you to add a piece of butter to porridge, then at the same time the level of harmful cholesterol increases.

It should also be taken into account that oatmeal and itself is quite caloric. 100 grams contain 300-350 kilocalories. Now conventionally add milk there, sugar, butter. And do not forget to hover nuts, bananas, candies, dried fruits, jam, honey, etc. - What we willingly smack your oatmeal for breakfast. This all together is very discharged on a decelinion bomb that harms health and the number of sugars causes a set of weight, spoiling the figure.

In addition, there is another trap. In essence, we have not yet taught us in the morning in the morning, but also marketers. And it is still unknown who is more. Of course, their product - an oatmeal of fast cooking is a very comfortable and delicious breakfast when time is not enough. However, this "useful porridge" is only sugar, flavor enhancers and flavors. From the oatmeal itself and its positive human properties organism practically nothing. And despite this, the consumer is served as an element of healthy eating.

So, as a summary of all the above, note: yes, oatmeal is important for our health of porridge, but only if it is not packed, and cooked on water without milk, sugar and butter and complements your mornings one or twice a week. . When adding to oatmeals of fresh vegetables, and, for example, eggs it truly reveals all its useful properties.
