Endocrinologist nutritionist Albina Komissarova in her Instagram talked about the rules for choosing a good oatmeal, and also dispelled several myths about this cereal.
According to her, it is better to choose that porridge, the cooking time of which starts from 15 minutes and above. This is due to the fact that such flakes are made from whole grains, which have not been processed before. Such a product will contain a large amount of fiber and vitamins of group B, they write News.
In addition, the flakes should not contain sugar, syrup and other sweeteners. Komissarova recommended paying special attention to the amount of fiber, because the more of it in the composition, the more useful the cereal.
As for the established myths about oatmeal, one of the most important is the leaching of calcium from the body. According to the expert, this effect is present, but the "lost" calcium is completely replenished with a tablespoon of milk.

Komissarova also does not recommend eating oatmeal every day, because the diet must be varied to maintain a healthy stomach.
“If you do not gorge yourself on oatmeal, try other breakfasts, this cereal is not an obligatory part of the diet,” the expert noted.
At the same time, the nutritionist advised to eat an average of about 50 grams of cereals at a time.
