Cereals contain carbohydrates, which provide the body with an easily metabolized source of energy. Different cereals will also contain fiber, sugar, and various vitamins and minerals as well.
A healthy diet should include everything in moderation. Have you heard of the food pyramid? (See related links below). It is a guide to what we should be eating. At the bottom you have the food can eat a lot of (cereals, brown bread, brown rice), next up you have fruit and vegetables (4-5 servings a day), then there is meat, poultry, fish and dairy products (2-3 servings a day) and last at the top you have junk food and food that is not particularly healthy for you that should be eaten very seldom. All these foods give us vitamins, proteins, fats, carbohydrates and minerals that we need to have. * Cereals, rice, bread: carbohydrates, vitamins and fibre * Fruit and veg: water, iron (green veg), vitamins and minerals * Meat: protein, fat, iron, vitamins and minerals * Dairy: calcium, fat, vitamins and minerals
carbohydrates
From cereals - we get carbohydrates From pulses - we get protein
Cereals that are high in fiber and low in added sugars are good choices for the elderly, such as whole grain cereals like oatmeal, bran flakes, or high-fiber granola. Look for cereals that are fortified with vitamins and minerals, especially B vitamins and iron, to support overall health and energy levels. It's also important to choose cereals that are easy to digest and gentle on the stomach for older individuals.
Vitamins A, D and k
Cereals provide carbohydrates (they fuel your body), they provide some protein (restores your cells and muscle) and they contain dietary fiber (will help your body to digest food). They also contain various B vitamins, that play important roles in cell metabolism. Cereals are very healthy! (And I'm not talking about breakfast cereals such as froot loops, but about cereals like muesli and such)
