Have you ever consumed breakfast that has rolled oats, nuts, honey, puffed rice baked well till it gets crisp golden brown?
The point to be noted is during the baking process the mixture is stirred to maintain a loose cereal consistency. The above mentioned breakfast food is called as granola to which dried fruits like raisins etc are also added to make it amazing.
It is worthy to mention that granola has got many minerals, vitamins, fibres etc in it and is superb for the health. Granola has got these ingredients like carbohydrates, sugars, dietary fibres, vitamins E, K, riboflavin, thiamine, folate, pantothenic acid, calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus etc in it. There are also others like copper, selenium, manganese, zinc, iron etc.
These are the health benefits of intake of granola
Digestion gets better:
This is one superb advantage of intake of granola. The presence of both soluble and insoluble fibres helps us in the process of digestion. It is import ant to mention here that the insoluble fibres add bulk to the stools and by this stools are passed out easily. The presence of soluble fibres acts as a nutrition for the probiotic bacteria present in our gut.
Helps in weight loss:
For losing excess weight people try various methods but often end up being unsuccessful in their attempts. The presence of dietary fibres in granola could keep us full for long time and by this we would not consume foods unnecessary. Blood glucose fluctuations get controlled in us. Ghrelin is a hormone that would make us feel hungry but intake of granola could prevent the release of ghrelin in us and our hungry gets lowered and finally weight loss is possible.
Cholesterol level gets lowered:
The fibre content of granola makes it superb in reducing the cholesterol levels in us. The point is fibre is responsible for the excretion of cholesterol in the stools.
Energy levels improved:
Many athletes and those who work at high intensity could feel good when they consume granola having low sugar and manganese in it. It is well known that manganese is involved in many biological processes taking place in us. Our metabolism gets boosted.
Good for pregnancy:
The presence of folate in granola plays an important role in the health of pregnancy. By ensuring the neural tube development plus preventing many deformities or neurological defect in the unborn child, folic acid or folate are tremendous.
