Its nutrients include vitamins, fiber, minerals and trace elements. For this reason, many families in China have a bowl of warm millet porridge for breakfast.
But in recent years, there are many controversies about eating millet porridge for breakfast. Some people even think that millet porridge can't be eaten as breakfast. Then the question comes, is millet porridge really unhealthy food?
In fact, as mentioned at the beginning of the article, millet porridge contains a lot of nutrients, and the boiled millet is very easy to be absorbed and utilized by the human body, which can effectively reduce the workload of the stomach.
Because millet porridge is a typical staple food, although it contains nutrients, its nutrition is not comprehensive. Moreover, the absorption speed of millet porridge is relatively fast. If you only eat millet porridge for breakfast, you can't provide comprehensive nutrition for the morning's work. You may be hungry before noon.
In addition, it should be emphasized that there are actually the following categories of foods that are really not suitable for breakfast:
1, instant noodles
This kind of food is very convenient to eat. You only need hot water to get a bowl of delicious food. But the essence of instant noodles is a single nutritious staple food, and eating instant noodles for a long time may lead to malnutrition.
Moreover, in the process of making instant noodles, there is also a step of frying. At the same time, bread itself and seasoning packets contain a certain amount of sodium salt, which becomes a high-calorie and high-salt food. Long-term intake will also lead to obesity, metabolic disorder, elevated blood pressure and other problems.
2. Fried breakfast
For example, fried dough sticks and oil cakes are common breakfasts, but they are also typical fried foods. After high-temperature frying, some nutrients have been destroyed and a large number of trans fatty acids have been produced. If you eat this kind of food for a long time, it will easily lead to obesity, metabolic disorder, and even increase the incidence of hyperlipidemia;
Step 3 fry eggs
Many people like to eat an egg for breakfast, but they don't eat boiled eggs, but fry them in oil. Fried eggs are really delicious, but they will increase the digestive burden of the stomach.
Moreover, the nutrients in eggs will not only be destroyed, but also produce a certain amount of heat, making eggs unhealthy food. Therefore, clinically, the best way to eat eggs is to boil them with water;
4. Hot food
Many people like to eat some high-temperature food at breakfast, such as hot porridge, hot soybean milk, hot milk and so on. If the food temperature is too high, especially over 65℃, it is easy to cause mild scald of digestive tract mucosa.
5. Pickles
This is also one of the most common breakfast combinations, but from a scientific point of view, it is not recommended that you eat pickles for a long time. Because the salt content of pickles is extremely high, it is easy to damage the digestive tract mucosa and lead to digestive tract diseases.
Moreover, a large amount of sodium intake, the body's metabolism is incomplete, and it may also develop into problems such as water and sodium retention and increased blood volume, which not only increases the metabolic burden of the kidneys, but even causes blood pressure fluctuations.
Finally, I would like to remind you that breakfast, as the most important of the three meals, can not only wake up your body, but also provide sufficient nutrition for morning activities. So everyone should learn to match breakfast reasonably. A really healthy breakfast is a light and balanced combination, and eating for 6-7 minutes is the best state.
