Cardiologist Hrant Shekhyan spoke about the benefits of porridge. According to him, they are vital for the body, as they help eliminate unnecessary additional stress on the blood vessels and heart.
“And this is precisely what is very important for heart patients,” the specialist noted.
The healthiest porridge for people with cardiac problems is oatmeal. It is easily digested, has a balanced composition, and stimulates bowel function.
Buckwheat and millet porridge are no less healthy. Buckwheat, among other things, is a source of iron.
However, if you add fatty fried meat or a large piece of butter to the healthiest porridge, its benefits will become questionable, the doctor warned.
“Less fried and fatty foods, more steamed foods — this is the main recommendation for proper healthy nutrition for cardiac diseases,” Shekhyan emphasized.
The smaller the amount of butter core, the faster the blood vessels heal. The less salt, the less fluid is retained, and the lower the risk of developing hypertension.
The doctor urged not to add salt to food, because foods already contain a sufficient amount of sodium and chlorine. At first, this is unusual, but over time, eating habits change.
Sesame seeds, herbs, a little vegetable oil – and such porridge can become the main dish.
