The doctor named the most useful summer breakfasts

The healthiest summer breakfast is light and balanced meals that do not overload the digestion in the heat, but provide protein, vitamins, fiber and complex carbohydrates. Alexander Umnov, senior lecturer at the Department of Surgery at the Medical Faculty of the State University of Education, told about this on Wednesday, July 22.

The doctor recommended making cold oatmeal porridge for breakfast. To do this, fill the cereal with water, yogurt or kefir in the evening, add chia seeds, cinnamon and put it in the refrigerator. In the morning, a cool, hearty meal with fiber will be ready. If you supplement it with strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, peach slices or nectarine, you will get complex carbohydrates, protein from a fermented milk base and antioxidants from berries and fruits, he noted.

"Another option is cottage cheese with vegetables and herbs. Take cottage cheese of medium fat content — 5-9%, so that the calcium is absorbed, but without excessive heaviness. Add finely chopped fresh cucumber, radish, green onion, chopped herbs (dill, parsley, coriander) and a little sour cream or Greek yogurt. This is a refreshing option: protein provides satiety, while vegetables and herbs provide water, fiber, and vitamins," the expert said in an interview with Lenta.Ru .

According to the surgeon, an omelet or scrambled eggs with vegetables would also be a good option. This breakfast combines protein and fiber.

Umnov added that in the heat you should not eat too heavy, fatty or very sweet breakfasts. In addition, it is worth being careful about foods with a high glycemic index, for example, bananas and grapes in large quantities can give a sharp jump in sugar.

"Start the morning with a glass of water with lemon or mint tea — this will help replenish the fluid lost overnight and make breakfast even more comfortable," he concluded.
