Refined cereals consist of grains that have been cleaned of various impurities. During this processing, not only harmful substances are removed from the grain, but also useful ones.

As a result of such cleaning, cereals lose their vitamins, minerals and microelements.

Besides the fact that they will not bring any benefits to the body, there is something worse - grains processed in this way lead to sharp jumps in blood sugar.

And the icing on the cake may be the fact that consumption of such cereals increases the likelihood of developing diseases affecting the cardiovascular system.

Finally, including in the diet dishes based on refined grains negatively affects the joints.

Perhaps, this is where we will finish listing the negative properties of this product.

If you don't want to experience all the "delights" of its use, opt for whole grain cereals.

Unlike refined grains, they reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease.

Another positive property is that the consumption of unrefined cereals normalizes digestion processes.

And this is not surprising, because they contain B vitamins, antioxidants and the fiber we need.
