How did oats change from animal feed to family food? This is mainly because with the development of the times, people's needs have changed greatly, from the need to eat enough to a healthy diet, and oats can just meet people's requirements.
No matter how expensive this food is, if it is eaten in the wrong way or the dosage is not well controlled, it will bring certain harm to the human body. Many people say oatmeal is a harmful product, and eating too much may induce diabetes. Is that really the case?
Don't rush to deny it. In fact, oats are of high value. Otherwise, how can it enter thousands of households and become a carbohydrate substitute product for most people? Oats have three advantages. Find out!
1. Oats are rich in nutrition. Oats will have a faint fragrance, but the taste is still relatively light. Many people think that this light food has no nutrition.
On the contrary, oats are very rich in nutrients, including protein, fat, amino acids, linoleic acid and various minerals and vitamins, so don't be influenced by the single taste of oats. In fact, it is a veritable nutrient.
Among many nutritional components of oatmeal, protein content ranks first, surpassing most foods. This statement is not empty talk. Researchers have tested 146 kinds of oatmeal on the market, and found that protein in oatmeal is as high as 14% ~ 20%, and protein in oatmeal is as high as 18 kinds of amino acids, which are necessary for human body.
2. Reduce the cholesterol of cardiovascular system and liver. What diseases are more common now, with higher mortality and disability rates? This must be a cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. People lack a lot of correct knowledge about cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and they can't eat well in diet.
There is just such a food that can lower the cholesterol in the cardiovascular system and liver. This statement is completely based on science. From 198 1 to 1984, China has conducted more than 600 clinical experiments and four rounds of animal experiments.
Studies have shown that taking naked oats for about three months can effectively reduce cholesterol and triglycerides in cardiovascular system and liver, and increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. For diabetic patients, higher dietary fiber can slow down the absorption and utilization of sugar, which is beneficial to control blood sugar.
3. Increase satiety. Many people found through personal experiments that the main reason for not eating enough is that the dietary fiber intake is too small. If you want to eat enough, healthy oatmeal is essential. Eat two eggs and a cup of milk oats in the morning. You will be full of energy and feel full all morning.
However, eating only one bag of bread in the morning will reduce satiety, make you hungry faster, and easily lead to inattention. This is the benefit of a balanced diet to the human body. Only a balanced diet can give full play to the advantages of each element.
Can you eat enough in the morning? It is closely related to this element and is a good dietary fiber. Oatmeal is rich in dietary fiber, which can maximize satiety. Oatmeal is rich in soluble dietary fiber, which can minimize the absorption and utilization of sugar when it comes to sugar. For diabetics, it can stabilize blood sugar.
However, this benefit is not positively related to the amount of oatmeal. It is not that the more you eat, the more benefits you bring. Only eating oatmeal in moderation can maximize its efficacy.
These two benefits of oatmeal have exceeded many foods. People choose oatmeal because of its value. In addition, it is also very helpful in medical care and feeding. So what is it that online promotion of oatmeal is a fake nutrition, and eating too much is not conducive to human health?
If you still have problems eating oatmeal, it means that there is something wrong with the type of oatmeal you choose and the quantity you eat. If these two points can be reasonably controlled, the value of oatmeal can be maximized. Pay attention to the following two misunderstandings!
1, processing oatmeal. There is a kind of processed oatmeal that is very different from the oatmeal that people often eat. This kind of oatmeal needs a lot of sugar to bake, which essentially changes the taste of oatmeal.
At the same time, this oatmeal also adds a lot of milk powder and some solid substances, such as chewable yogurt or dried fruit, which will increase the calories of oatmeal and change the health care function of oatmeal.
This grain contains too much sugar and dairy products. If eaten for a long time, it will make blood sugar unstable and increase cholesterol in the human body. Nowadays, people pay attention to a light diet, and blindly pursuing food with stimulating taste will damage their health.
For example, friends who like to eat salt, not actively controlling salt intake will induce hypertension; For another example, some friends like to eat foods with high sugar content, so the risk of inducing obesity and diabetes is higher than others; Some people prefer greasy food to light diet, so the risk of hyperlipidemia is much higher than that of people with light diet.
This is the harm that heavy mouth brings to human body. The nutritional value of oatmeal is not reflected in the taste, but in it. Keeping the habit of drinking oatmeal for a long time can get rid of the habit of overeating and move closer to a light and balanced diet.
2. Oat intake can't be reasonably controlled. As the saying goes, "it is completely hooliganism not to talk about dosage and quality." Although the value of oatmeal is very high, if the consumption of oatmeal is not controlled, it will also cause many problems.
Oatmeal contains more protein and fat than many cereals, and it is also rich in dietary fiber. It is precisely because of its high fat content that people are not advised to eat too much. Oatmeal, like other foods, contains calories.
It's not that it can lower cholesterol in human body, but that it has no calories and can be eaten at will. This is a misunderstanding that everyone has. If this thinking is not changed, even the healthiest food will be misused.
I believe that eating oatmeal is harmful to the human body, mainly because these two misunderstandings have not been recognized clearly. There is nothing perfect in this world. There are advantages and disadvantages. What people should learn is to maximize benefits, not disadvantages.
How to choose oatmeal correctly has always been a long-standing problem. There are many kinds of oatmeal on the market, and there are different ways to eat oatmeal, so there is no way to choose oatmeal. I hope to help you choose the right oatmeal through the following four questions.
1. Oatmeal and cereal are the same thing? Many people go to the supermarket to buy oatmeal and find that some products look like oatmeal, but it says oatmeal. What the hell is going on here?
First, let's answer this question. Oatmeal and cereal are not the same product. They are very different. The ingredients of oatmeal are relatively simple, only oats and no other substances. Its shape is flat, and its diameter is similar to that of soybeans, and it may be scattered after processing.
The composition of grain is very complicated. Many cereals do not contain oatmeal at all, but are made from some cereals such as wheat and corn, and many creamers, sugar and additives are added to improve the taste.
So when you go to the supermarket, you must choose oatmeal. As long as the ingredients list is clean, it means that it is a natural food. If the ingredient list contains more ingredients, it is not recommended to buy it, because the additives exceed the standard, which is not conducive to human health.
2. Buy pure natural oatmeal or oatmeal with high calcium, high iron and high protein? Many people have a very big misunderstanding that eating pure natural oatmeal has a single taste, which means that oatmeal has low nutritional content.
Adding the words high calcium, high iron and high protein in front of oatmeal not only enriches the taste, but also makes people believe that such products are nutritious, but they are not. As mentioned in the previous article, oatmeal itself contains high protein, fat and some trace elements, and these so-called oatmeal with high calcium, high iron and high protein may not have more than half of the nutrients of pure oatmeal, but there are many additives. Therefore, pure oatmeal is the first choice if you want to eat healthily. Although it tastes less, it has high nutritional value.
3. Is the quality of oatmeal that is not beautifully packaged poor? Whether the packaging is exquisite or not is not the only criterion to measure the nutritional value of this product. Many foods are beautifully packaged, but just throw them in the trash can and have a look.
Have consumers ever considered that exquisite packaging is also part of the product price, and finally they have to pay the bill, only to find that its ingredient list is not clean at all, which is not worth the candle. Although the oatmeal in single package and large package looks unremarkable, the oatmeal inside is pure natural and beneficial to human body.
This is a true portrayal of ordinary appearance but rich heart. For the choice of some products, don't look at its outer packaging, but at its ingredient list. Forming such a habit will make a different change to your consumption concept.
4. Is oatmeal good to eat or cooked? Many kitchen boys are puzzled about the cooking skills of oatmeal. Do you want to eat oatmeal with boiling water or do you need to cook it in a pot?
What's the difference between these two ways of eating? Experts also solved the puzzle for everyone through experiments. If you want to eat healthy and safe, it is recommended to cook it. Because oatmeal is cooked and eaten, it can enhance the satiety of the human body and effectively avoid the sharp rise of blood sugar.
Many ready-to-eat oatmeal sold in the market can get a cup of milky oatmeal by boiling water for one minute. Although this way of eating saves time and improves efficiency, it is not healthy. Good ingredients should be cooked correctly.
These are the four most frequently asked questions. I believe that after understanding these four aspects, I will have a clear idea when choosing oatmeal and cooking oatmeal. Good ingredients need to release its benefits as much as possible, rather than halving its efficacy.
Nowadays, many universities have introduced health oatmeal, which is a kind of gospel for friends who are losing weight, controlling blood sugar and lowering blood fat. As the saying goes, gold always shines, and with the passage of time, the efficacy of oatmeal has been widely known.
I hope that through this article, more people will realize the role of oats and establish a correct health concept. Today we have some knowledge about oatmeal, so that's it. Interested friends, see you in the comments area! I hope the readers who read this article can have a healthy body and a happy family.
