A common cereal that is in every home can become a shield against serious diseases. We are talking about buckwheat - its unique composition suppresses inflammation and blocks the growth of dangerous cells.
Buckwheat contains rutin, a substance that strengthens blood vessels and removes toxins. And also quercetin, which prevents DNA mutations.
Benefits of buckwheat
But to get the maximum benefit, you need to cook it properly.
Do not cook the cereal, but pour boiling water over it overnight. This will preserve all the vitamins.
Add turmeric and black pepper to the porridge - their combination enhances the antitumor effect.
Buckwheat also lowers blood sugar levels, protecting against diabetes. For prevention, eat it 3-4 times a week, combining it with vegetables and greens.
But why buckwheat?
Unlike other cereals, it does not contain gluten, which causes intestinal inflammation in many people - and this is the first step to chronic diseases.
Buckwheat is also rich in magnesium, a mineral that reduces the risk of colon cancer. And lysine in its composition accelerates tissue recovery after damage.
Try fermenting buckwheat. Soak the grains for 12 hours, then rinse and leave to sprout. This will double the antioxidant content. Add sprouted buckwheat to salads or eat with yogurt.
Another life hack - buckwheat flour
Replace wheat flour with it in baking: pancakes or fritters made from such flour do not cause sugar spikes and provide satiety for a long time. And if you mix flour with kefir and let it brew, you will get a healthy drink for cleansing the intestines.
And don't forget about green buckwheat
It is not fried, so it retains the maximum amount of nutrients.
Use it to make porridge, add it to soups or make energy bars with honey and dried fruits.
And remember: even superfood won't work if you eat processed foods and forget about sports. Health is built on little things - choose whole foods and be active.
