Alternative Food For Puffed Cereal

By Carol Parker


In every store that you walk in today, cereals take up more space in almost every food shelves. They are attractive, and many children today would prefer having this puffed cereal as part of their breakfast. As much as they are essential to the child, parents should have some limitations as to how much of the foods that they consume. This article explains why you should create some boundaries with these cereals.

Everybody will buy these unprocessed grains only because they are attractive to the eye. However, experts have put a different eye on them, and have found out that these do not have enough nutrients. As much as they are cheap, the nutrient content in them is so little, hence making it worthless to spend your money on them. These cereals contain synthetic nutrients, which introduce toxicity into our bodies.

To the most children taking cereals for breakfast, the meal is normal to them. When he or she ingests the meal, since the food contains synthetic nutrients, the meal may never go through proper digestion. This is because the foods are produced through a process known as extrusion. The process involves turning the grains into sludge, then the small pass-through holes. These holes determine the shape that the flakes, charms and puffed meals will take.

During extrusion, the grains pass through extreme pressure and temperature that changes the sludge to become dry. However, the extreme conditions inside the sludge may cause depletion of the nutrients that the food may have. Therefore, it will not be a shock to notice less protein percentage in them. As many consumers may never notice, but they will coat the grains with sugar and oil so that they can introduce a level of crunchiness and attractiveness.

Be careful because most people develop insulin issues in their body. From a scientific view, the pancreas, which is in charge of producing insulin, becomes overwhelmed with the amount of sugar that these cereals bring into the body. Thus, in most cases, people develop problems that make you feel hungry as soon as you take some breakfast. In other cases, other people will feel tired and moody every morning.

As you all know, these grains contain phytates. Most of the time manufacturers do not put much concern into this matter though. The phytates are responsible for inhibiting the correct absorption of minerals in the body. Some of the minerals include copper, zinc, iron, magnesium, and calcium. On the other hand, manufacturers should ensure that they deplete all the phytates in the foods; alternatively, they would make sure that the substance is minimal in the grains.

Because a lot of cereal consumption can be harmful to our bodies, then it would be a good idea to try out new breakfast ideas. One of the alternatives would be porridge. Most disregard this food, but they contain unprocessed grains, which contain all the nutrients that your body needs.

If this does not appropriate for you, try to take sprouted dehydrating grain cereals. They may be rare to find but does not require a lot of effort to prepare them. Health food stores and food isles contain these foods.
