Nutritionist Larisa Faerman: what makes oatmeal useful for the body is its rich composition.
Nutritionist Faerman stated that oatmeal made from whole oats is a champion in health benefits, as it provides the body with a wide range of useful substances.
“It contains beta-glucans – substances that have a beneficial effect on blood cholesterol levels, B vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, including iron and magnesium, as well as fiber, which helps normalize digestion and increase the feeling of satiety,” she told Gazeta.Ru.
Also among the most beneficial cereals for the body, nutritionist Faerman named buckwheat, placing it in second place in the ranking of healthy cereals. According to the specialist, buckwheat is a good source of vegetable protein.
“Buckwheat also contains rutin, a vitamin that strengthens the walls of blood vessels, and minerals: potassium, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium,” shared the nutritionist.
Another porridge that the expert considered healthy is made from quinoa. This cereal provides the body with vegetable protein with the presence of all the necessary amino acids. As well as iron, magnesium and phosphorus.
