Rospotrebnadzor experts named reasons why it is worth including oatmeal in your morning meal.

There are at least two good reasons to start your day with this porridge.

This porridge contains antioxidants. They regulate blood pressure, which is why the dish is recommended for hypertensive patients.

Rospotrebnadzor experts advise choosing cereals that take no longer than 10 minutes to cook.

In addition, it is noted that oatmeal contains phytic acid.

Its disadvantage is that it can interfere with the absorption of a number of substances. Among them, for example, calcium and phosphorus.

But at the same time, this acid does not wash calcium out of the body, which is important for bone health.

Thus, the idea that oatmeal can harm bones is greatly exaggerated.
