Nutritionist Yulia Chekhonina named the healthiest porridges for breakfast.
Nutritionist Chekhonina reported that semolina porridge is healthy for breakfast along with oatmeal. Semolina is often criticized as a product rich in carbohydrates. But the specialist stated that this cereal is rich in vitamin E, which has a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin and hair and has a reputation for being a substance that prolongs the youth of the body.
“In terms of vitamin E content, semolina is considered one of the record holders. In addition, it is rich in complex carbohydrates, so it is important for those who suffer from a lack of body weight and gastrointestinal diseases,” Chekhonina shared in a comment to Doctor 24.
As for oatmeal (from whole oats), such porridge contains dietary fiber, which improves the condition of the intestinal microflora and helps to normalize cholesterol levels and improve blood vessels.
Also, according to the nutritionist, buckwheat porridge is useful for breakfast. It also contains a lot of dietary fiber, in addition it gives the body B vitamins, which are important for brain health, and omega-3 fatty acids, which fight inflammation.
Another healthy dish for breakfast is flaxseed porridge. The expert drew attention to the fact that this porridge is a “champion” in terms of dietary fiber and protein content, and also contains substances that help prevent fatty liver disease.
