Nutrition is an important process in the life of each of us, thanks to it the human body receives all the necessary nutrients. Breakfast is often called the most important meal of the day.
Breakfast cereals are convenient, quick and the possibility of a healthy start to the day.
There are different types of breakfast cereals
Cereals are one of the most popular products in the world for a morning meal. The use of dry breakfasts helps ensure that your day starts briskly and is based on a rich diet. Breakfast cereals can be cold and hot, organic or synthetic.
Cereal cereal for breakfast is oatmeal or any other porridge in the package, ready to eat. Dry cereals (various cereals) are added to the milk.
Breakfast cereals can also be consumed without the addition of milk or water, such as corn flakes, oat flakes, etc. The possibilities of good dry nutrition are endless.
There are many kinds of cereals in the world. Some cereals are sweet, others are soft. In connection with this difference, it is sometimes difficult to make the right choice. In general, cereals can be divided into two types: hot and cold cereals.
Kashi
Hot cereal foods consist of whole grains and practically do not contain fat, salt or sugar. Almost from any grain you can cook hot porridge. Preparation of hot cereals takes only 5 minutes. It is necessary to heat milk or water, and then place the cereals and mix. Once the mixture has the right consistency, let it stand for a minute or two and the breakfast is ready! To the porridge you can add natural sweeteners - honey or fruit.
Porridge whole grains are made from a mixture of solid varieties of wheat, rye, barley, buckwheat, oats and barley. To the grasses can be added raisins, dried apricots, prunes and other dried fruits.
Cold cereals
Ready-to-eat foods from cereals are called cold cereals. These are fast, nutritious, inexpensive and portable breakfasts. They differ in nutritional value. In combination with low fat, cholesterol and high protein content, cold porridge provides dietary nutrition. In addition, most cereals contain up to 25 percent of the daily recommended intake of essential vitamins and minerals.
Hot and cold cereals can be classified based on ingredients such as:
- Corn bran: Grain from bran (the outer shell is removed from whole grains) have a higher fiber content, but they can be difficult to digest. Cereals are made from oats, wheat or rice. The high fiber content in them helps to maintain a feeling of satiety and reduces the risk of constipation, cardiovascular disease and possibly cancer. Scientific studies show that a diet, including using wheat bran, can reduce the risk of colon cancer.
- Sweet cereals are least rich in nutrients, but very popular with consumers, especially in children. They use the addition of sugar and are not recommended for use in large quantities.
- Organic cereals: Organic breakfast cereals (as the name suggests) are made from ingredients that do not contain pesticides and fertilizers. Organic grains are rich in nutrients. When choosing organic breakfast cereals, pay attention to the label.
Breakfast cereals are an ideal food, especially for students, young people and people who are too busy, rush to work or like to luxuriate in bed in the morning.
Morning reception of breakfast cereals takes very little time and provides a healthy diet for the whole day.
Of course, not all breakfast cereals are the same. Despite the similar size of packages and prices, there are many differences between most cereals. Some argue that whole grains are a good source of vitamins and minerals.
When choosing dry breakfasts in the store do not get carried away with colorful packages, the contents inside do not always correspond to the bright design.
