Since childhood, we have become accustomed to thinking that any porridge is healthy. In reality, this is not entirely true.

Nutritionists Oksana Vydrya and Anna Lis told the portal 74.ru about this.

Doctors noted in a conversation with the press that many people choose for their morning meal those porridges that are cooked from fairly heavily processed grains, and flakes can also be used.

As a result, the dish has little fiber and useful elements, but a lot of carbohydrates. Butter and sugar will also ruin the breakfast.

Such porridges are only harmful to health.

Doctors noted that it is better to give preference to whole grain porridge, which should be steamed the day before.

But here we must remember about contraindications. For example, if there are carbohydrate metabolism disorders (diabetes or obesity), gastrointestinal diseases, then porridge for breakfast is a bad option.

In addition, nutritionists told what foods are best to eat in the morning. According to doctors, this can be cottage cheese and low-fat sour cream, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, soft-boiled eggs, vegetables, greens, avocado, poultry.
