Nutritionist urged to give up milk porridge

Physician-endocrinologist, nutritionist Anton Polyakov advised to give up the use of dairy porridge.

"I would pay attention to oatmeal, buckwheat porridge. Of the newfangled ones, you can highlight quinoa, and if there is a normal tolerance, you can also flax porridge. It is better to boil porridge or cook it in a multivark. But do not boil it to make it al dente," explained the nutritionist.

In a conversation with aif.ru on November 24, the expert explained that it is better to give preference to oatmeal or buckwheat porridge, but it is better to give up dairy porridge for adults to avoid digestive problems: most adults do not produce enzymes to digest milk.

He warned against the use of semolina and any instant porridge, writes RT. The doctor called rice porridge useless, as "it is just polished rice, in which, except for starch, there is nothing".

According to him, people over 20-25 years of age, as a rule, the enzyme for digesting milk is already practically absent. In this regard, for example, coffee with milk or milk porridge will be accompanied by GI upset and digestive problems.

In June, gastroenterologist Petmat Shamaeva warned about the danger of porridge for the health of some people. According to her, contraindications to eating porridge also include certain gastrointestinal diseases such as peptic ulcer disease, duodenal ulcer disease and ulcerative colitis.

In February, endocrinologist and nutritionist, Dr. Oksana Mikhaleva warned that porridge for breakfast can be harmful for some people. So, we are talking about people with lactose intolerance or allergies to cow's milk proteins. This is especially true for milk porridge, they can cause such patients a number of unpleasant symptoms - abdominal pain, constipation or diarrhea, as well as skin rashes, reports 360.ru.

Earlier nutritionist Antoninaa Starodubova noted that breakfasts should be varied, balanced and provide the body with all the necessary nutrients. For example, it can be porridge from whole-grain, not fully milled cereals (buckwheat, oatmeal, millet, wheat); various dairy products of reduced fat content (cottage cheese, yogurt, ryazhenka, low-fat varieties of cheese); egg dishes (omelet and so on), notes NSN.

Earlier, the site kp.ru with reference to experts wrote that oatmeal can not eat every day. Phytic acid contained in it interferes with the assimilation of calcium. Also oatmeal is rich in starch, which can lead to diabetes. Therefore, such porridge is better to consume in the winter period, when the body needs a lot of energy.
