A group of volunteers aged from 30 to 80 people was selected for it. For a month, these people were fed oatmeal. A week later, a general improvement in the condition became noticeable: working capacity increased, including mental, cheerfulness and good mood appeared. However, this is not all the advantages of cereals. The British appreciate oatmeal for other properties:

• Removes calcium. Frequent use of oatmeal leads to leaching of calcium salts from the bones. Grains contain phytic acid, which prevents the absorption of calcium.
• Oatmeal contains gluten. An allergy to oatmeal in a child can provoke gluten, which is part of it. There is also such a thing as gluten intolerance, it is determined at the genetic level. There are various degrees of intolerance, the most severe being celiac disease. It disrupts the digestive tract and absorption useful substances in the intestine.

Oatmeal is useful if consumed in small amounts no more than 2-3 times a week. Newborns should be introduced to oatmeal at 10.5 months for formula-fed babies and at 11 months for infants only after buckwheat and rice porridge have been successfully digested. At an earlier age, oatmeal can provoke flatulence. You can start complementary foods with liquid dairy-free porridge, giving it half a teaspoon. If your baby has an allergic reaction, put off the oatmeal for a while.

How to choose the right cereal

The quality of the porridge that you cook for your baby at home directly depends on the choice of the type of oatmeal and the way it is stored. There are several types of oatmeal, depending on the method of processing the grains.

Table - Types of oatmeal

Groats, not crushed	Represents grains of oats from which the shell has been removed	Contains less starch and a lot of mucous substances. Most useful for medical nutrition	2 h	303 kcal

1. Choose Hercules. For baby food instant cereals, which are produced specifically for children, are best suited. However, oatmeal for newborns can be made at home. Hercules flakes ground in a blender are best suited for this purpose. They retain more vitamins than Extra flakes, but they will also have to be cooked less than whole cereals.
2. Pay attention to appearance cereals. Quality product cream or yellowish color with a slight oatmeal aroma.
3. Purchase cereals in tightly closed plastic packaging. In cardboard boxes, it quickly absorbs moisture and becomes rancid.

Oatmeal Recipes

Dairy-free oatmeal for children is considered the most useful. It is easier to digest and lower in calories. With the addition of milk to porridge, its calorie content increases, and the stomach has to digest not only vegetable oatmeal proteins, but also animal milk protein. Thus, it is recommended to cook oatmeal for children under one year old on water (you can add a little breast or adapted baby milk to ready meal), and offer cow or goat milk diluted in half with water to babies after a year. Grinding cereal is not necessary for older children.

Whole flakes

1. Soak a glass of Hercules flakes in a glass of water. If you cook without soaking, then a glass of cereal is poured with 2 glasses of liquid.
2. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring constantly.
3. Cool down ready porridge. For babies up to a year, grind in a blender to get a homogeneous mixture.

From ground flakes

1. Grind oatmeal in a coffee grinder.
2. Put 2-3 tablespoons of chopped cereals in a bowl and fill with water or milk.
3. Mix well and put on fire.
4. When the porridge boils, cook for 3-5 minutes.
5. Cool down.

Oatmeal porridge

1. Dilute 3 tablespoons of oatmeal in 100 ml of chilled boiled water.
2. Boil 100 ml of milk or water (if you are preparing dairy-free porridge).
3. Put the diluted oatmeal into the boiling liquid and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes.
4. In porridge for children after a year, you can add butter or a slice of banana.

oatmeal broth

Oatmeal for babies is offered in the following cases:

• with constipation;
• with a lack of weight;
• in case of malnutrition, breast milk only for children after 2 months on the recommendation of a pediatrician.

It should not be used as a separate type of food: the stomach of a newborn is not able to cope with such a product that is difficult to digest. Excessive passion for decoction can cause diarrhea. It is best to prepare a decoction for a breastfed child up to a year on water, after a year - on an adapted one. baby milk with the addition of the mother, and for the artificial - based on the mixture. Goat milk is also suitable for preparing a decoction, if the baby is not allergic to it.

Cooking method

1. Boil 150 ml of water.
2. Pour a tablespoon of Hercules flakes into boiling water and boil for 15-30 minutes.
3. Add 50 ml of milk to the resulting mixture and boil for another 5-7 minutes.
4. Set aside the broth until it cools down.
5. Strain the mixture through a sieve or blend in a blender.

If the broth is prepared exclusively on water, then instead of 50 ml of milk, add 50 ml of water. To prepare a decoction in goat's milk, it is diluted with water in a ratio of 1: 2, the flakes are thrown into a boiling liquid and boiled for 20 minutes.

Oatmeal for newborns is very useful, but it should be used carefully, given the contraindications. Any diet is good in moderation, and oatmeal is no exception.

Variu oatmeal in the following way:
1. In a saucepan, I bring water and milk 3.5% to a boil in a ratio of 1: 1 (the pediatrician advised me to dilute 3.5% milk in this way, if milk is 1.5%, then it is not necessary to dilute it with water)

Kissel made from oatmeal was popular in Russia, which gave not only energy for the whole day, but also beauty. Oats are rich in carbohydrates, but they are healthy. In addition, this natural medicine contains trace elements, fiber, and antioxidants. Oatmeal is a whole “pharmacy” that is easy to digest, heals and tastes good.

So different

Many are familiar with oatmeal in the form of cereal, but apart from them there are oat flour and cereal. The difference between them is in processing technology:
