During this period, when believers reduce the amount of meat and fish in their diet, cereals, which are a source of carbohydrates and vegetable protein, come to the forefront.
Such products contain many useful elements, for example, B vitamins, as well as potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, and so on.
The benefits don't end there. The fact is that porridges are good for metabolism, brain function and other organs.
Gastroenterologist Ekaterina Kashukh explained what is best to combine such products with, and also noted which cereals are healthier.
The Izvestia publication writes about this.
The doctor noted that if the grain is polished and ground minimally, then the rate of carbohydrate breakdown will be low, which means that the benefits of such a product are greater.
For example, semolina or couscous provide a feeling of satiety only for a short time.
It is much better to give preference to buckwheat and pearl barley, because they contain more complex carbohydrates, they break down slowly and give a feeling of satiety for a long time.
In addition, such cereals contain a lot of fiber, which is important for normal bowel function.
