Misugaru is easy to eat and contains healthy grains such as brown rice and beans. Therefore, it is often consumed as a diet food or meal replacement. However, even misugaru that seems to be good for health can harm your health if not consumed properly, so caution is necessary.

◇ Nutrient loss during heat treatment... A proper meal is better

If you care about your health, it is better to eat a proper meal rather than replacing it with misutgaru. Misutgaru is made by roasting grains through freeze-drying or heat-drying methods, then grinding them into powder. It is made by mixing about ten different grains, including brown rice, soybeans, barley, glutinous rice, and black beans. However, not all of the nutrients from the grains are fully preserved in misutgaru.

When making misutgaru, nutrients such as vitamins can be destroyed by heat during the cooking process of grains. Meals should be composed of foods close to the raw ingredients to stay healthy. It is good to consume a meal that includes a balanced mix of various nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals.

◇ Drinking it quickly causes blood sugar to spike rapidly... leading to obesity and diabetes

Misugaru is a processed food made into powder through refining, which can be conveniently consumed by drinking it quickly. However, eating food rapidly can lead to obesity and diabetes. When nutrient absorption speeds up, blood sugar levels also rise rapidly. If blood sugar drops sharply due to increased insulin secretion, a sudden feeling of hunger occurs, increasing the risk of obesity caused by binge eating. Moreover, po

Hormones that induce satiety take about 20 minutes after eating to send signals to the brain, so it is likely to finish eating before feeling full and to seek out other foods. Obesity caused in this way can lead to diabetes. Additionally, the amylase enzyme in saliva, which helps digest and break down carbohydrates when chewing food, may not be released if the food is swallowed like drinking a powdered grain drink, increasing the risk of gastritis.

◇Adding sugar or honey exceeds the daily intake amount... Chew thoroughly to taste the natural sweetness

Some people add sugars such as sugar or honey to sweeten misutgaru. However, sweet-tasting misutgaru can cause various side effects such as high blood pressure, obesity, and impaired intestinal function. Instead of adding sugar, make sure to chew the misutgaru particles thoroughly. As starch is broken down into sugars, the natural sweetness can be enjoyed.

Honey is the same. You might think it's healthier than sugar and safe to use freely, but honey has 64 kcal per tablespoon, which is higher than sugar's 53 kcal. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a daily sugar intake of 25 grams, which is equivalent to one-third of a tablespoon of honey.

=================

I'm drinking millet powder mixed with milk and honey, and occasionally sipping it.

This is not a healthy food.

Honey should be added in very small amounts.

You can't even drink it quickly.

It's good to have a habit of drinking slowly.
