    I agree with the author of the article, but it is much more useful than Hercules cereal to eat porridge made from natural oatmeal. True, it is cooked for a long time, so it is better to soak the cereal overnight in cold water, and cook it in the morning. For even greater benefits, add not butter, but a tablespoon of olive oil to the porridge. The intestines will work "like a clock" =)

    Since childhood, somehow I was not accustomed to cereals, at a more conscious age I realized that this needs to be corrected. Initially, it was hard to give up sausage sandwiches for breakfast in favor of oatmeal, addiction happened gradually)) Now I can’t imagine my morning without hot porridge, however, I cook it in milk. I know that it is recommended on the water, but in my opinion, milk is also a healthy product and it will not spoil the porridge))

    Oatmeal is a storehouse of what is scarce in many other products, namely fiber with plant fibers, and I’m not even talking about a set of trace elements and vitamins.
    Oatmeal, a product underestimated in the Russian Federation, it is simply unique.
    Remember the famous "oatmeal, sir."
    To the question of the author of the article, how I make it tastier - I will answer.
    I personally eat oatmeal with a few rings of good semi-smoked sausage.
    Not so useful, but tasty and not so harmful for me.

    I have never tried oatmeal before. but recently decided. Cooked not much and ate in two days. You need to choose the amount at one time and some additional fillers. Now the choice is still large, there are fresh apples, and our own. Well, in the winter you have to switch to dried fruits.

    I am a fan of oatmeal for breakfast. My husband and I have been eating breakfast this way for many years. Moreover, porridge is always boiled, that is, we do not use porridge from bags, which must be poured and that's it. Porridge is always boiled in water and a little honey is always added to it. We don't eat sugar. And I will tell you that a normal portion of porridge gives not only satiety until dinner, but also a charge of vivacity and energy.

    Oatmeal contains mucus. It envelops the walls of the stomach, so it will not only not harm, but heal it. The only bad thing is that they put us on oatmeal and the groats completely disappeared.

    I go to the gym 4 times a week. I try to follow the right diet. I can say that oatmeal is a great breakfast food. Slow carbohydrates will saturate the body for a long time after eating, and therefore interfere with the processes of catabolism. Oatmeal also has a fairly low GKI, which means a slight increase in blood sugar levels, therefore little insulin production by the pancreas and a minimal chance of sending excess to fat depots. Everyone boldly eat oatmeal in the morning!

And although few people doubt the benefits of oatmeal, not everyone is in a hurry to include it in their daily diet.

But in vain, eating porridge at least once a week can prevent the formation of blood clots, lower the level of bad cholesterol and improve brain function. In addition, even one serving of oatmeal has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the heart and the entire cardiovascular system.

Here is just a small list of essential trace elements contained in porridge.:

The benefits and harms of oatmeal in the morning are of particular interest to athletes, because this dish is almost the main one in their diet, as it helps build muscle by controlling body weight.

It is not for us to talk about environmental degradation. But just one serving of porridge can naturally cleanse the body of toxins and heavy metal salts that accumulate in it.

Well, where else can you find such a tasty and healthy product?

How it works

Nutritionists advise starting the morning with healthy oatmeal, because it is this cooking option that is considered the most useful for cleansing the intestines and normalizing the digestive tract. How does it work?

Digesting, porridge envelops the walls of the stomach, facilitating digestion. At the same time, even oat grains ground into flour act like a “brush”, removing the “garbage” accumulating there.

The mucus formed when oats are boiled in water is an excellent tool for the prevention and treatment of duodenal ulcer and stomach ulcers.

In addition, oatmeal contains a lot of fiber, which is so necessary for the body after surgery or illness. It is for this reason that it is given to patients after surgery. Remember - one bowl of porridge gives the body a quarter of the necessary fiber per day! Dry oatmeal in the amount of a glass - completely restore this stock!

water oatmeal recipe

To prepare this healthy porridge, we need two full glasses of purified water and a glass of oatmeal.

Bring the water to a boil over medium heat, and then carefully pour in the grits and reduce the heat. Cook the mass, stirring occasionally until tender, adding three teaspoons of butter and a little salt at the end. However, if you decide to lose a couple of kilograms, then you can do without the last two points.


Frozen or fresh fruit slices, which you add before serving, will make it not only more beautiful, but also more healthy. It certainly won't do any harm!

Most of us do not want to load the stomach with food in the morning, but the body simply needs to get energy for the next day. That's why oatmeal is the best start to the day for everyone.

Being a light food, oatmeal porridge contains the protein and a portion of energy necessary for the body. Agree - a great alternative to heavy and unhealthy sandwiches.

In addition, even if after such a breakfast you want to eat something else, then the food taken after porridge will be absorbed much faster, which is very helpful when losing weight. By the way, this dish in the morning will help you quickly and effectively restore and normalize metabolic processes, which will help you lose weight much faster!

Also, do not forget that for proper digestion and weight loss, oatmeal should be washed down with milk.(fat-free or soy) or delicious tea, which we talked about in a wonderful article! Be sure to read it after this one!

And here are three more reasons that may even more approve you of the need to include oatmeal in your morning diet:

  1. unobtrusive taste that can be decorated and diversified even with one berry or a spoonful of honey;
  2. ease of preparation, which even a schoolboy can handle;
  3. availability and cheapness, unlike any kind of muesli, bread and food additives.

milk oatmeal recipe

Let's now look at another popular oatmeal recipe. A dish cooked in milk, according to many, has a greater range of taste than one cooked in water.

Oatmeal has long been popular, but this product received particular demand at the end of the 20th century. Thanks to its properties, oatmeal has taken one of the important positions in the diet of people who seek to maintain their health and enrich the body with valuable nutrients.

Benefit

It is difficult to find any other product that has the same diverse range of useful properties. Oatmeal contains the optimal amount of protein, carbohydrates and fats. Thanks to complex carbohydrates, the body gradually receives energy for an active life. Therefore, oatmeal for breakfast is one of the healthiest foods.

Oatmeal porridge in the morning helps reduce the likelihood of blood clots, helps lower blood cholesterol levels, optimizes the functioning of brain cells, and strengthens memory. Also, oatmeal is an effective means of preventing stress, improves mood, normalizes kidney function, and has a general strengthening effect on the body.

Oatmeal is often introduced into the diet of athletes: this product promotes muscle building and helps maintain normal weight, removes toxins, salts of heavy metals. Thanks to oatmeal, the functioning of the liver, pancreas, and thyroid gland improves. It also improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, strengthens hair and nails, and helps restore nervous tissue.

A high level of fiber lowers cholesterol, lowers the risk of heart and vascular disease (but only in combination with a diet). Eating oatmeal for breakfast is considered one of the best ways to start the day. This product is very useful for the intestines and stomach.

Oatmeal cooked with water is of particular value: it contains a minimum of calories and fat, which is important for people who are on a diet.

Another valuable feature of porridge is that it envelops the stomach, which greatly facilitates digestion. And the grains themselves or oatmeal help to cleanse the intestines, quickly removing toxins from the body. It is also useful to use oatmeal for peptic ulcers in the duodenum and stomach: the mucus that forms during the cooking of porridge helps to get rid of gastrointestinal problems.

With moderate consumption of this product, oatmeal is a dietary food.

Harm

When eating oatmeal, you need to remember that the diet should be varied. Despite the usefulness of oatmeal in the morning, it is better not to use it every day, but to alternate it with other healthy breakfasts.

If you eat a lot of oatmeal, you may experience a loss of beneficial enzymes. And all because of the accumulation of phytic acid, which prevents calcium from being absorbed normally.

When choosing oatmeal, it is worth stopping at a whole grain product. Despite the fact that it will take more time to cook it, such oatmeal contains much more useful properties. Also, we must not forget that not all oatmeal can be healthy: this applies to instant cereals. Such products often contain artificial components that can harm health.

Oatmeal contains a lot of saturated fatty acids and a sufficient amount of carbohydrates. But, given that carbohydrates are complex, they are not stored as fat, but are burned throughout the day, providing the body with energy.

Oatmeal does not contain carcinogens.
