:us: THE FOUNDATION OF A SET OF MUSCLE MASS. PORRIDGE.

Real superfood
Porridge is an indispensable food product.

The real benefits of porridge we understand only when thinking about making a diet for weight gain or, conversely, for weight loss. At the same time, their list in our diet is always modest to the point of indecency: buckwheat, rice, and even oatmeal. Therefore, I suggest you learn about the beneficial properties of other cereals and radically expand your range of proper breakfasts.

Note: below is an example of a list of cereals that I personally use.

The right diet for muscle growth is very important, and for weight normalization even more, and if you combine the benefits of porridge, you will get this list:

Cereals are digested for a long time, steadily feeding the body with energy during this process
Cereals contain many important vitamins and minerals
Porridge is a source of vegetable protein
The caloric content of cereals is small, so they can be safely consumed when losing weight
Cereals are the cheapest source of the right carbohydrates
Porridge is rich in fiber, which gives a feeling of satiety for a long time
Porridge has a low glycemic index
Note: The glycemic index is a property of a food product that shows how much it will raise blood glucose levels compared to sugar. That is, the higher this indicator, the more calories from the product have a chance to get into fat deposits. In unsweetened vegetables, the glycemic index is even lower than in cereals. But you will not get the necessary calories from them and you will not be able to work out seriously (after eating grapefruits, for example), but after having breakfast with porridge, please.

Conclusion: porridge itself is a source of slow carbohydrates, porridge with meat/fish/eggs is also an additional source of protein

MY TOP LIST OF CEREALS:

1 Buckwheat porridge (main)

Buckwheat for an athlete is porridge No. 1. Buckwheat porridge supplies the body with fiber, vitamins B2, PP, B1, E, organic acids, zinc and magnesium, which are extremely important trace elements against the background of heavy training. Regular consumption of buckwheat porridge normalizes blood pressure and improves the functioning of the endocrine system.

Buckwheat porridge helps to properly form the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. When gaining weight, buckwheat is an indispensable product, because even a small portion of it gives a feeling of satiety for a long time. In the fields of buckwheat, almost no pesticides are used, so buckwheat can be called the purest of all cereals.

2 Millet porridge

Its benefits for the body are great. Millet porridge is rich in vitamin D, which is actively involved in the synthesis of testosterone.

This cereal has a positive effect on the metabolic processes, that is, in simple terms, it does not allow much fat to grow during the period of weight gain and helps to reduce its reserves during drying. For those who are diagnosed with heart disease, millet porridge is simply irreplaceable, because it contains a record amount of potassium, so necessary for the heart muscle.

3 Pearl porridge

Pearl barley contains a lot of nutrients, which allows the body to be in good shape for a long time. This porridge accelerates the metabolism and activates brain activity.

It contains a lot of lysine-an amino acid that improves the body's absorption of iron and, most importantly, zinc. In addition, lysine is responsible for the synthesis of collagen, a special type of protein that makes up our ligaments and tendons. Regular consumption of pearl barley increases immunity, the body is less exposed to colds and actively fights with already manifested diseases. But having decided to introduce pearl porridge into your diet, it is worth remembering that it requires a long cooking time. So, you need to prepare it in advance.

4 Oatmeal

Like other cereals, it is rich in fiber, and its composition includes proteins, vitamins and minerals. The peculiarity of oatmeal is that it not only fills the body with energy, but also benefits the whole body, especially the digestive system.

This cereal normalizes the acidity and cleanses the body. In addition, oatmeal improves mood and helps to cope with depression and depression.

5 Rice (rarely)

Rice contains thiamine, zinc, iron, and other trace elements. Rice cereal is a source of complex carbohydrates and starch, it gives the body energy for the whole day.

Conclusion: you can use a variety of cereals in bodybuilding, enriching your diet with the right carbohydrates and valuable trace elements

Personally, I eat only the above-mentioned cereals, due to the fact that they do not contain gluten (oatmeal is questionable, different sources write differently). Not that I'm allergic to gluten or intolerant to it, I just decided to exclude it. And of course porridge before use is not a lot of salt and add butter about 50 grams.

Conclusion

I hope that my story will be useful and will allow the porridge to take its proper place, turning from a boring side dish into real pearls of our diet. May the force be with you. Slimness or mass (who needs it)!
