What does cereal do for your body?

Answer 1

Cereals is a good way to start the day as it provides lots of energy. Cereals are broken down into blood sugar for your body. Fuel or energy is then being provided for your brain and muscles. This also gets stored as fat in the body.

Answer 2

whole grains help your body because they contain a lot of fiber (Whole grains have a lot more than white grains). Fiber maintains the body from having constipation (constipation: Your butt gets clogged up)

Answer 3

Cereal is a good way to start the day because it is full of carbohydrates, which give you energy. Some cereals are healthier than others - e.g. cornflakes do not contain any sugar whereas frosties do.

It is made from cereals such as wheat and oats. These cereals can be made into all sorts of different cereals.

Having milk on your cereal gives you strong bones, hair, nails and teeth because it contains calcium.

You can get different cereals for different purposes - slimming ones, ones that sustain you until lunch time.

Cheap supermarket alternatives can save you money but they contain half as much nutrients as the leading brand.

Answer 4

Grains are important because they give alot of nutrition. By eating Pasta, wheat bread Not white (because they take out all of the real nutrition and make it chemical nutrition.), and all your normal wheat products.

Grains contain carbohydrates which give you enery and if the grain is a wholegrain it gives you fibre which is good for your gut.

Answer 5

Whole (unrefined) grains are a rich source of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fiber, essential fats, and protein, especially if they are soaked and cooked, sprouted, or fermented. Seeds are how most plants reproduce. Some seeds are contained inside fleshy fruits that are eaten by animals. The flesh of the fruit is digested by the animal, while the seed passes through the digestive system intact to be deposited, encased in fertilizer, elsewhere. In order for the plant to reproduce, it's necessary that the seed pass through the digestive tract whole (undigested). Many plant seeds have developed defense mechanisms to make them more difficult to digest, including enzyme inhibitors that can interfere with digestion and other natural substances that block nutrient absorption. For example, phosphorus in the bran of whole grains is bound to a substance called phytic acid. Phytic acid prevents premature germination and stores nutrients for plant growth. Unfortunately, it also reduces the absorption of the important minerals calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc, and reduces the digestibility of protein. This applies not only to the minerals and protein in the food containing the phytic acid, but also the food that you eat with it. Over time, these phytates can lead to mineral deficiencies, Allergies, and irritation of the intestinal tract. Cereal grains also contain protease inhibitors, which block enzyme function and protect seeds from being eaten. These inhibitors can also prevent protease enzymes from digesting protein in the human digestive tract.

Traditionally, humans soaked or fermented grains before eating them, processes that neutralize phytates and enzyme inhibitors so that all the nutrients are more available. Later, humans learned how to "refine" grains by removing the most nutritious parts: the bran and the germ. The remaining endosperm is mostly carbohydrate and lacks the majority of the other nutrients. That's one reason refined grains keep longer: other animals that we call "pests" don't find them as attractive. Relying on refined grains also meant that humans lost the traditional preparation methods of sprouting, soaking, and fermenting grains (except in the production of beer).

Answer 6

Grains help your bones grow and give you long lasting energy

Answer 7

Like any food, cereal contains calories which provide you energy, as well as fiber (in some cereals) which helps regulate your digestive system

Answer 8

it gives you fibre for digesting food
