Oats contain substances that lower cholesterol levels in the blood, and berries supply the body with antioxidants and vitamins (they can be added to porridge either fresh or frozen, but using jam is not recommended - this will add extra fast carbohydrates to your breakfast, causing raising blood sugar levels for a short time, but no less rapidly reducing it, which is why soon after breakfast you will again feel hungry/weak/tired).

Barley porridge with nuts

Barley is rich in fiber and beneficial microelements, and nuts contain healthy fats and vitamins E and C. A handful of crushed nuts in a serving of porridge will make your breakfast more nutritious and healthy. It is important to use raw almond, cashew or hazelnut kernels rather than roasted ones. This dish will provide you with long-lasting energy and good mood.
