It is a very recurring breakfast in many homes. there are of all types, of all brands and of all flavors so if, in addition to tasting cereals, we want to eat healthy, we must be careful.
The cereals provide vitamins, minerals, fiber, carbohydrates and some proteins. In addition, if they are comprehensive, they reduce the risk of suffering from various chronic conditions such as ecardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal disorders or type 2 diabetes.
Of course, these are the cereals that are not healthy at all:
- Those cereals that have dyes or that are enriched with sugar
- Cereals accompanied by dried fruits due to its high caloric content
- The cereals with chocolate or honey due to its high sugar content
- those with colors and shapes that are not made of cereal like the rings, the animals… because of its large amounts of added sugars and fats
- The crispy cereals because they contain a lot of fat
In addition, those with the worst nutritional level are, paradoxically, children’s cereals. Despite their slogans and sermons on health and growth, two problems are hidden:
- They have more sugarwith an average content of 27% and exceeding it on many occasions
- They have lower fiber contentwith values between 2-3%.
