Nutrient composition of multigrain

According to the ancient Chinese medicine book Huangdi Neijing, "Five grains are nourishing, five fruits are helping, five animals are benefiting, and five vegetables are filling." The content of some trace elements such as iron, magnesium, zinc and selenium in coarse coarse grains is more than that in fine grains. The value of these trace elements to human health is considerable. The contents of potassium, calcium, vitamin e, folic acid and bioflavonoids in coarse coarse grains are also richer than those in fine grains.
Whole grains are rich in nutrients. Oats, for example, are rich in protein; Millet is rich in tryptophan and carotene; Beans are rich in high-quality protein; Sorghum is rich in fatty acids and iron. Potatoes contain carotene and vitamin C. In addition, whole grains have the effect of losing weight. Such as corn also contains a lot of magnesium, magnesium can strengthen intestinal wall peristalsis, promote the excretion of body waste, for weight loss is very beneficial.
Replacing some fine grains with coarse grains can help diabetic patients control their blood sugar. Studies have shown that the postprandial changes in blood sugar after eating coarse grains and beans are generally smaller than those of wheat and common rice, which can reduce blood sugar fluctuations within 24 hours, lower fasting blood sugar and reduce insulin secretion, which is conducive to blood sugar control in diabetic patients.
