Imagine a seed: it has a core that feeds, grows, is formed by nutrients that are contained in the husks or peels. When the grain is torn off and prepared for use, it is cleaned from the outer shell to maximize the taste. And in this shell, peel or husk contains something, due to what the fruited and ripe fruit - vitamins, oils, useful salts and trace elements, all these substances would not prevent us, is not it?
When the fashion for a healthy lifestyle began, the food industry had to pay attention to this "raw material waste", which is what we call bran.
Benefit
When in Asian countries noble people began to eat refined rice, they began to ache and die very rapidly. After a few hundred years it turned out that it was a beriberi disease - a vitamin B1 deficiency caused by a rejection of the rice husks.
Before you tell how to take bran for weight loss, just imagine how much they are useful, thanks to the content:
- vitamins A, B, E;
- omega-3 and 6 fatty acids;
- selenium, manganese, phosphorus;
- cellulose.
The use of bran with weight loss is due precisely to the last point - coarse dietary fiber. Fiber contributes to a feeling of satiety, from moisture it swells in the intestine and increases in volume by 25 times! In addition, it relieves the modern disease - constipation, removes toxins and not digested food remnants.
Choose bran
Bran can be of any kind - rice, rye, oatmeal, wheat, etc. All of them are useful, but it is possible to choose what bran is best for losing weight, because not everything is so smooth with them.
Bran can be found in the form of flour and in the form of granules. When meeting with the latter should look at the composition: the producers will still be able to spoil this curative product, adding preservatives, sugar, salt, flavors, citric acid. Give preference only to natural bran, do not buy on additives of cranberries, apples, dried fruits - you better add them yourself, knowing that in your plate there is nothing synthetic, only the husks of seeds and natural berries and fruits.
Application
And a couple of words about how to use bran for weight loss.
First, pour the bran in a glass of hot water, and, without insisting, merge it.
Secondly, add the bran to any dietary dish - salads, cereals, dairy products, or just eat, washing down with water.
The use of a large amount of water when taking fiber is mandatory, otherwise instead of getting rid of constipation, only strengthen the problems with the stool.
