Buckwheat is one of the most useful cereals, which doctors call the "elixir of youth". It is rich in vitamins and minerals that strengthen the cardiovascular system, support the nervous system, help digestion and even promote healthy skin, hair and nails. In addition, buckwheat has a low glycemic index and helps control blood sugar levels, and also promotes weight loss due to its low calorie content.
However, doctors are paying attention to products that can negate its beneficial properties or even harm the body if consumed together with buckwheat.
What foods should you not combine buckwheat with?
-
Milk – combining with buckwheat can cause bloating and stomach pain.
-
Eggs – simultaneous consumption places a heavy burden on the digestive system, which can lead to diarrhea, nausea, and heartburn.
-
Wild garlic – slows down the absorption of buckwheat and can cause digestive problems.
-
Tea – caffeine and antioxidants in tea interfere with the absorption of iron from buckwheat, so it is better not to drink your porridge with black or green tea.
To get the most out of buckwheat, it should be combined with vegetables, light protein, or plant-based foods, avoid the foods on the list above, and follow a healthy diet.
