Rice: In addition to vitamins (from the B group), minerals (iron) and fiber, this cereal provides up to 60% of the total protein in the diet in the countries that consume it.

How to eat cereals?

Cereals are an important pillar of the Mediterranean diet, but their daily amount depends on each person, their tastes, and physical needs. However, whenever possible, it is recommended to favor the consumption of whole grains (nutritionally superior to refined ones).

 

Whole grains

By preserving the three parts of the grain during milling (germ, bran, and endosperm), whole grains are much richer in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals (such as saponins, phenolic compounds, and sterols). Among their many benefits, whole grains help improve gastrointestinal transit and control weight. They are also associated with a lower body mass index and weight, a smaller waist, a lower cardiovascular risk, and a decrease in the feeling of hunger.

 

Refined cereals

The grain of refined cereals undergoes a stricter production process that separates it from almost all of the germ and bran in its composition. As a result, a much finer, lighter, and more palatable grain is obtained, but it lacks many of the nutrients present in whole grains (it only contains proteins and carbohydrates).

 

Cereals and sports, when to eat them?

Every athlete, whether recreational, amateur or elite, should know their body and the amount of cereals they need to have optimal performance and recovery.

As a general rule, its intake is usually prioritized in healthy breakfasts and snacks, but the recommendation is always to consult with a sports nutritionist for better results.
