Endocrinologist, candidate of medical sciences and nutritionist Elena Elena Syrakshina said that if you include only 1 simple product in the diet, you can significantly improve the condition of the body, the Portal “Roskanka” (18+) reports.
We are talking about one of the most useful cereals – millet. Millet contains a whole complex of valuable substances. It contains essential amino acids, trace elements and enzymes. In terms of the content of vitamins of group B, millet is significantly ahead of other cereals, and the level of folic acid in it is twice as high as in wheat or corn.
Also, millet is rich in phosphorus – in 100 grams of cereals, it is 50% more than in a similar amount of meat. In addition, it contains zinc, iodine, potassium, sodium, magnesium and bromine – elements that play an important role in maintaining overall health.
Millet is a valuable source of magnesium, which makes it an excellent product to maintain the health of the heart and blood vessels. Magnesium helps normalize blood pressure and reduces the risk of heart attacks, especially in people with diabetes or atherosclerosis.
In addition, millet contains potassium – a mineral that promotes the expansion of blood vessels and an additional pressure reduction.
There is also a high content of unsaturated fatty acids in millet. For example, oleic acid (omega-9) helps to restore the protective functions of the skin and maintain moisture. Linoleic acid (omega-6) contributes to the metabolism and the absorption of proteins.
