Blood thickens, sugar rises: doctors named three mistakes that people make in the morning – Rossiyskaya Gazeta

Dietitian Daryl Joffre recommended combining bananas in the morning with healthy fats; this will “prevent a spike in blood sugar levels and subsequent drops.” Plus, you’ll get more benefits from the potassium, fiber, and magnesium it contains.

And by the way, bananas have a characteristic that makes it better to limit them in the diet of older people. Therefore, banana lovers may have higher blood viscosity. The blood becomes thicker even if there is not enough protein in the diet.

Greek experts also warned that a person should drink a sufficient amount of fluid in the morning (warm water “helps to thin the blood and reduce the concentration of toxins in the blood”). It’s not just about a glass of water when you wake up, but also about breakfast. Ideally, it should not be dry. For example, oats that absorb water well are suitable.

This breakfast “can be a simple way to replenish daily fluid needs,” experts say.

However, there is another mistake associated with eating porridge in the morning that many people make.

Doctors warn: it is better to avoid instant cereals, over which it is enough to pour boiling water and wait a few minutes.

“If there is no time, such a breakfast is better than nothing. But in “quick pachas” the cereal is usually highly crushed and steamed, which significantly reduces its nutritional value,” reports healthy-food.rf, adding that Such products often contain nothing at all: unhealthy sugars, flavor enhancers, synthetic flavors and other additives.
