The healthiest foods for your body
Nature provides a wide variety of foods for the general welfare of the body: vegetables, fruits, seeds, oilseeds and cereals top the list of the pyramids of nutrition worldwide. Among these foods, cereals are one of the keys to any consents nutrition. Laura Kohan talks about how grains are basic ingredients of any healthy diet: "Today, scientific evidence on the preventive and curative effects of whole grains on diseases such as diabetes, arteriosclerosis and cancer is indisputable and also an undeniable … help in treating problems of obesity … "
It is well known that whole grains (not processed) are undeniably an important source of nutrients that far outstrips refined grains. Whole grains are much richer in vitamin E, B vitamins, and minerals such as iron, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, etc. If you do not have included many whole grains (or zero) in your diet, you should definitely start to see them as part of your daily diet, and begin to replace refined by whole bakery, flour and cereals.
As already stated, whole grains are an excellent source of nutrients and provide high quality energy to your body, in addition to providing high quality fiber, which helps eliminate toxins and intestinal adhesions and bad fats in the body, causing all sorts of diseases. In addition, the fiber helps eliminate carcinogenic cells, cholesterol harmful and toxic substances difficult to remove by other means.
Refined grains with added substances
Beware of traps in supermarkets, because at present there are many products made from refined grains added with all kinds of vitamins and minerals to balance the lack of nutrients and capture the attention of consumers. Laura Kohan, in her book, made a wise reflection: "What is the need in refining a cereal and then adding what you have been removed?" Something that also ends up having an impact on the final price … "
It also says: "The problem with these enriched products, especially those with a reinforcement of micronutrients, is that within a healthy and balanced diet can cause an effect of overdose." It must be stressed that it lack of nutrients is so dangerous such as overdose.
Grains that top the list of quality
Between grains that stand out for their many properties and health benefits are rice, a cereal very accessible and with which you can prepare many dishes. Laura Kohan suggests not only limiting yourself to always buy the same rice, but to explore the great variety of these that can be found on the market, such as basmati rice or red.
Other cereal that has exceptional properties is buckwheat, a champion of vegetable protein, is rich in B vitamins.
And of course, oat, a cereal equipped with high nutritional qualities, essential in the diet of adults and children. It is one of the grains with more protein content, contains six of the eight essential amino acids and is a rich source of antioxidants. With 100 grams of oats, you would get 100% of the daily requirement of manganese and more than 50% phosphorus and vitamin B1, and a large percentage of iron, silicon and unsaturated fats (which predominates in the fatty acid Omega-6). Another important component of whole oats are the phytosterols, all of which help reduce blood cholesterol.
The list of whole grains that top the list of foods XXI century of course doesn’t end there: even necessary to mention the fabulous amaranth, quinoa, etc.., which can be found with great detail in the book.
Whole grains molasses and milk
The book recommends, among other things, begin to replace regular milk for plant milk: oat milk, for example, is an excellent source of nutrients, is highly digestible and has no harmful fats, hormones and other toxic substances that normal milk contains. The rice, buckwheat and Kamut milks are also ideal alternative for the health of this century.
Cereals, in addition, also have a delicious malt extract that appears to be an ideal replacement of refined sugar. Laura Kohan recommends sweetening beverages and desserts or whatever with grain molasses, which are full of minerals and vitamins, without actually harmful effects of white sugar.
