A group of international scientists, as part of large-scale research, discovered that the most useful cereal is not buckwheat or even oatmeal.
You can safely cook porridge from this cereal for breakfast and dinner.
The results of the work of scientists from Great Britain and India were published in Frontiers in Nutrition.
We are talking about millet groats, which are superior to buckwheat in terms of their beneficial properties.
If you eat millet regularly, you can improve your digestion.
In addition, porridge has a positive effect on the functioning of the heart and nervous system.
At the same time, it increases insulin sensitivity, which makes the cereal useful for diabetics.
It should also be noted that a small portion of millet contains 6 grams of protein, 2 grams of fiber, B vitamins, iron and magnesium, calcium and phosphorus, and folic acid.
Scientists have come to the conclusion that it is better to cook millet in milk in the morning.
In the evening, porridge with water will be useful - less caloric.
Contraindications
If you have thyroid disease, gastritis or stomach ulcers, you should consult a doctor.
You also need to be careful in case of individual intolerance to cereals.
