When it comes to food, everyone is familiar with it. The most common cereal staple foods are steamed bread, rice and bread. As the main source of human energy, cereals are loved by people in all provinces and cities of China. Through research, it is found that whole grains are the most beneficial to our health. Whole grains are rich in dietary fiber, starch, various oligosaccharides, minerals, vitamins and antioxidants. Grains are mainly divided into wheat, rice, oats, barley, sorghum and so on, of which three are particularly effective.
1, the health function of oats
Since ancient times, oats have often appeared in the recipes of dignitaries as a tonic because of their functions of nourishing the spleen and stomach, moistening the intestines and relaxing bowels, and stopping sweating and bleeding. Modern scientific research has proved that the content of protein in oats is extremely rich, far exceeding other cereals. In addition, oats contain a lot of soluble cellulose and B vitamins.
Oat is an excellent carbohydrate. Eating oats regularly is beneficial to maintaining blood sugar concentration and weight. Oats contain a lot of plant fiber, which makes them have excellent laxative function. Eating oats for the elderly can help relieve the symptoms of dry stool. Of course, no matter how good things are, you can't eat too much, and so can oats. If you eat too much oats at a time, it may lead to flatulence and stomach cramps.
2. The health function of brown rice
Brown rice is rice with rice husk removed, and its surface is chaff composed of pericarp, seed coat and aleurone layer. The polished rice we usually eat has already taken off this bran. At this time, although the taste is better, the nutritional function has been lost. Brown rice contains a lot of magnesium and phosphorus, which is an important element of bones. At the same time, it is also rich in germ and polysaccharide, as well as B vitamins and vitamin E, which are antioxidants and are very helpful to enhance cellular immune function.
3. The health care function of corn.
According to the research of a health care association in the European Union, the nutritional value of corn ranks among the best among all staple foods. Combined with a large number of epidemiological data, it shows that regular consumption of corn can prevent many diseases. The reason why corn has such magical performance is mainly because it contains anti-cancer substance glutathione, which can help the human body fight cancer effectively. In addition, it also contains a lot of elemental selenium, which helps us to decompose peroxides in the body, so that malignant tumors can not be supplied with oxygen molecules, thus being killed.
Conclusion: At present, many people are tired of eating flour and rice. Their usual diet is to eat polished rice and flour, but they don't know that the really nutritious part has been abandoned. For the sake of health and more comprehensive nutrition, I suggest that you often eat the above coarse grains and be really responsible for our health.
