Many people prefer to cook porridge for breakfast in order to get as many vitamins as possible and forget about the feeling of hunger for a long time.

Cereals really should be in the diet. After all, they contain many healthy elements.

But which porridge is considered healthier?

Cardiologist Grant Shekhyan, in a conversation with representatives of the Izvestia publication, said that preference should be given to oatmeal, which is easily digested and has a positive effect on bowel function.

Millet and buckwheat are also useful.

If you want to get the maximum benefit from these dishes, it is important to cook them correctly.

To do this, it is important to avoid harmful additives.

We are talking about butter, which many people like to add to a pot of porridge. If you remove this product, then porridge will improve the work of the heart and blood vessels.

Overcooked vegetables and fatty meats, salt and sugar are also harmful.

To improve the taste, you can use natural spices, herbs, and a little vegetable oil.

During the interview, the doctor also noted a healthier way to prepare such dishes. He recommended choosing brewing or steaming.
