Recently, granular bran has become a common sight on the menu of those who want to lose weight. This product also has opponents who believe that it causes more harm.
What is bran
When the grain passes the processing stage, waste remains - its shell. This husk is the bran. Moreover, absolutely any grain is used for their production.
By themselves, they have a loose form. But for ease of use, now they can be bought in granular form. Regardless of the form, they have exactly the same value.
They are rich in vitamins (E, B1, B2) and minerals (potassium, zinc, iron, calcium, selenium). But what they are most valued for is fiber.
The main types of bran and how to prepare them
Regardless of what culture bran is made from, it comes in two main types: granulated and non-granulated. Can both of them be used as they are so that the body is not harmed?
Non-granulated bran must be poured with hot water and left for half an hour. During this time, they will collect enough water, turning into porridge. It can be eaten neat or added to any dish. The volume eaten is from 1 tsp. up to 1 st. l.
And if it is not loose bran, how to use granulated bran? When they are in the form of granules, it is recommended to cook in a similar way. Although not necessary. If you eat them in the form of crackers, then you must definitely drink a sufficient amount of liquid. Bran is an excellent absorbent, but it only begins to act in this way when combined with liquid. Therefore, you need to drink plenty of water. Otherwise, bran can be harmful to health. At least two glasses of water should be drunk per spoonful of bran.
Bran from wheat
Wheat granulated bran contributes to high-quality cleansing of the body. They are similar to a sponge that swells upon contact with water. First you need to eat the required portion of bran, then drink it with liquid. It can be water, tea, milk, kefir, compote. Then they begin their journey through the gastrointestinal tract, absorbing toxins. Due to their swelling, there is a feeling of a full stomach. As a result, the feeling of hunger is significantly dulled, and the amount of food consumed is reduced. This contributes to gradual weight loss.
Oat bran
Granulated oat bran is considered no less useful, but their task is slightly different. They contain a large amount of fiber, which is responsible for beauty. It helps to remove toxins from the body, cleanses the skin. It also strengthens hair and nails.
In addition, they help clean blood vessels, as their regular consumption can lower cholesterol by up to 10%. By the way, rice bran is much richer in fiber. If there is a need to lower cholesterol levels, then it is worth giving preference to rice.
Diet and bran
Often, those who want to acquire harmony are interested in whether it is possible to eat granulated bran on a diet. Despite the fact that this product is very useful and is considered safe, it is better not to overdo it with its amount in the diet.
Applying bran for weight loss, how to use them? They must be introduced into the diet carefully, starting with a minimum amount. The single portion eaten should be gradually increased. First, within two weeks, it should be 1 tsp. with a three-time intake. Then a single serving can be increased to 1 tbsp. l. But if the work of the intestine is overly active, then it is enough to take 2 tsp. in a day.
Bran can be added to food. For example, instead of crackers in salads. If they are ground, then you can mix them with any food. For example, with buckwheat porridge.
But these are not all options on how to use bran for weight loss. Wanting to reduce your weight, you have to give up flour and sweets. And this is often the most difficult during the diet. By adding bran to a baked cookie or pie, you can significantly reduce the calorie content. It is worth using this opportunity so as not to break down and start eating high-calorie cakes.
Bran in cosmetology
It is possible to improve health, lose weight and improve the condition of the skin not only by consuming bran inside. They are also used for external use.
For example, if you take 5 tsp. chopped bran and mix them with egg yolk and water, you get an excellent mask that can smooth out wrinkles. It must be applied to problem areas and left for one hour.
If you pour bran milk, you get a scrub for the skin. It is recommended not to wash it off immediately, but to leave it on the face as a mask for another 15 minutes.
The benefits of bran
If there is no need to lose weight, should you eat granular bran? Are they useful?
This product is not in vain included in the category of dietary. Due to their composition, the ability to saturate with low calorie content, they are useful for many people with various health problems. And also for those who care about proper nutrition. For example, the beta-glucan they contain helps fight high cholesterol levels.
Bran is a lifesaver for people with diabetes, as using it as a supplement can significantly reduce glycemic index food. Therefore, the menu of such people can be more diverse. Also, granulated bran is an excellent prevention for those who are predisposed to diabetes.
Their regular use speeds up metabolic processes in the body, acts as an immunostimulant.
Fiber, found in bran in large quantities, helps to solve the problem of constipation. It promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria, so if you have dysbacteriosis, you should pay attention to this product. Granulated corn bran is recommended to be eaten in order to reduce the risk of oncological diseases in the colon.
While bran pellets may help with weight loss, they are not a complete solution to this problem. They should be one of the components of the whole complex, aimed at bringing your body into the desired shape. We must not forget about full-fledged regular physical activity. You also need to adjust your diet.
Harm bran
With so many indications, it's hard to believe that this natural product can sometimes even be dangerous. You should not be zealous with the amount of bran consumed, as extremely large volumes lead to the fact that all the foods eaten are excreted from the body too quickly. And their beneficial substances simply do not have time to be absorbed. In addition to unpleasant problems with the gastrointestinal tract, this can lead to a violation of the vitamin-mineral balance in the body.
People taking medications need to be aware that granular bran can significantly reduce their effect, as it is an absorbent, the action of which is similar to activated carbon. If necessary, enter bran into the menu, it is recommended to discuss with your doctor the possibility of combining them with the medication you are taking.
You can not use bran for people who have a stomach ulcer. They are contraindicated in exacerbation of colitis or gastritis. But during the period of remission of these diseases, on the contrary, they are recommended for use.
They should also be avoided during pregnancy. They can be entered into the children's menu only from the age of three. Most often prescribed as a measure to combat constipation.
Bran, like any product, has its indications and contraindications. They are recommended to use for weight loss, as a treatment and prevention of diseases. It is necessary to introduce them into the menu gradually. Do not exceed the maximum allowable dose. It is also important to drink plenty of fluids.
Quite often, people trying to lose weight are advised to give up sweet, fatty, starchy foods. And here the question arises for many: "Is it really necessary to give up all this?" Cakes, buns, cakes - this is understandable, we boldly say to all this: "Goodbye" or even "Farewell". But bread, does it contain a lot of useful substances, vitamins and microelements? People have used it for centuries and did not even think about giving it up?
Yes this is true. But let's discuss whether we buy and eat the same bread now? What kind of bread did many generations of our ancestors eat before us. After all, they ate bread from unrefined grain, that is, whole grain bread. But it is known that all vitamins and microelements are contained just in the shell of the grain or, in other words, in the bran.
We would all be healthier and live longer if we ate roughage, which would provide more indigestible fiber for the digestive tract. In my own way chemical composition food fiber is indigestible cellulose. In terms of its content in products, food bran (53–55% of fibers) ranks first, followed by vegetables (20–24%) and rye bread.
According to the American Dietetic Association, the recommended fiber intake for men is at least 38 grams per day and for women it is 25 grams per day. However, according to research conducted by this organization, the current global average fiber intake is only 15 grams per person.
Health benefits of bran.
Bran is a form of complex carbohydrates having a low glycemic index. Bran can also lower the glycemic index of other foods. This is a natural product that consists of grain shells and unsorted flour. They contain a complex of B vitamins necessary for a person, which are directly involved in lipid metabolism. The composition of bran includes vitamins B1, B2, B6, PP, as well as provitamin A (carotene) and vitamin E. Bran is rich in minerals. Among them are potassium, magnesium, chromium, copper, selenium and other trace elements. Due to this composition, bran is an indispensable dietary product, an especially important addition to the diet of obese patients.
One of the main advantages of bran is the high content of dietary fiber, which regulates the functioning of the intestines, improves the microflora of the colon, helps to eliminate cholesterol, lower blood sugar. Dietary fiber contained in bran lowers cholesterol by binding intestinal bile acids, which are known to have a certain atherogenic activity, therefore bran can be used to prevent atherosclerosis. The positive effect of bran in diabetes mellitus is due to the slowdown in the breakdown of starch and the ability to influence the glycemic index of other products.
Bran has low nutritional value. Passing through the digestive tract, they accumulate liquid in themselves and swell, creating the illusion of fullness, and thereby reduce the amount of food consumed. They adsorb bile acids, toxins, bind and remove nitrates from the body that enter the body with vegetables and fruits. Helps detoxify the body.
The dietary fiber found in bran is a form of complex "good" carbohydrates. This is a type of cellulose - a plant fiber. It is a nutrient medium for normal intestinal flora, so bran is indispensable in the complex treatment of intestinal dysbacteriosis. The choleretic effect of bran is provided by their stimulating effect on the overall motor ability of the digestive tract (mechanical stimulation).
The cleansing effect of fiber is due to the hollowness of its fibers. As you know, nature does not tolerate emptiness and, getting into the gastrointestinal tract, fiber absorbs everything that has accumulated in our intestines over the years. It absorbs mucus that clogs microfolds, cleaning their entire surface for full contact with food masses. We can observe similar purification processes in the stomach. Cellulose in its properties somewhat resembles activated charcoal.
Since ancient times, people have known and used the healing properties of bran to treat diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. But more recently, another property of fiber has been discovered - its ability to influence metabolism. But it is metabolic disorders that lead to weight gain. Fiber does not burn fat, does not affect the visible consequences of excess weight, but affects the very cause - a violation of metabolic processes in the body.
Bran improves colonic peristalsis, acting as a stool-forming factor and a reliable remedy for constipation. They create a large soft mass that accelerates intestinal motility and, diluting themselves, lowers the levels of fat breakdown products associated with the formation of carcinogens. Regular use of bran can relieve habitual constipation and prevent their occurrence in the future, after stopping the intake of bran (restoration of a normal bowel reflex).
Some groups of African natives, who eat almost no meat and milk, usually have semi-liquid stools, while they have an order of magnitude lower incidence of polyps and colon cancer than people in developed countries who consume refined foods. There is an opinion about the possibility of a connection between chronic constipation and the development of colon cancer. In particular, it is known that in some countries and regions the incidence of colon cancer fluctuates dramatically, and the difference can be 20-fold, and this difference is directly related to the dietary habits in these regions.
In the form of a dietary supplement, bran is effective for violations of the function of the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, chronic diseases of the stomach and intestines - gastritis, gastroduodenitis, enterocolitis during remission and subsidence of the acute inflammatory process. But bran is of particular importance in the treatment of obesity and diabetes.
How to use bran correctly.
Bran should be taken with food, added to meals, or outside the main meal, with milk, kefir, yogurt or other dairy products, 3-4 times a day. The daily dose of bran is 30-50 grams. But in the treatment of obesity, this rate can be gradually doubled.
If you have not used bran in your diet before, then you need to start with small doses - 1-2 teaspoons per day, for a week, bringing the volume to the maximum comfortable daily dosage. So you can avoid the unpleasant consequences that occur with the rapid introduction of a large amount of fiber: increased formation of gases, instability of the stool, heaviness in the stomach.
While many of us don't really get enough fiber in our diet, drastically increasing your intake can impair your body's ability to absorb certain minerals, such as zinc, calcium, iron, magnesium, and vitamin B12.
Of particular importance is zinc deficiency, which inevitably develops with long-term intake of bran, and it is this microelement that plays an important role in lipid metabolism. Professional nutritionists, knowing this, are sure to introduce zinc-rich foods into the diet in a timely manner, and above all, almonds.
Bran is recommended to everyone as a prophylactic and health remedy necessary for the proper functioning of the intestines, lowering cholesterol levels in the blood, cleaning the digestive tract from toxins and toxins, but they play a special role in restoring metabolism and treating obesity. Their use with daily meals really suppresses appetite and reduces weight.
Bran and pectins have a binding capacity of 300–400 g of water per 100 g of substance. At the same time, a prerequisite for their use is (1.5–2 liters per day), without which fiber ceases to perform an adsorbing function. In the treatment of patients, especially the elderly, often with fluid deficiency, it is necessary to pay attention to its sufficient intake. Considering the possibility of fiber binding calcium, iron and zinc with the occurrence of subsequent violations of mineral metabolism, its dosage should be individually carefully selected.
Bran is a very useful and low-calorie product.
For those who want to refrain from a hearty dinner in the evening, this is an indispensable way out. A glass of kefir or yogurt with bran will perfectly saturate and help to cope with hunger.
But! There are also restrictions! Bran is not recommended for use in the acute period with gastritis, peptic ulcer, colitis and enteritis of infectious etiology, as well as with adhesive disease. However, after the inflammatory process subsides, bran intake can be resumed, starting with small doses.
The released gases can increase the distension of the colon, which, on the one hand, stimulates intestinal motility, and on the other hand, can lead to flatulence. The possibilities of increasing the content of bran in food are often limited by their different individual tolerance and, first of all, due to increased gas formation and increased flatulence.
From all this we can conclude that bran is recommended for almost everyone for daily constant use.
