Green lifestyle associated with choosing clean nutrition, derived from nature, is becoming more and more popular in Vietnam. People are starting to prefer home-grown clean vegetables, clean fruits, fruit juices… and prioritize nutritious cereals.
In recent years, the trend of dairy companies expanding the production of plant-based drinks, especially focusing on oats, is increasing. Plant milk contains a healthy source of protein, can replace animal protein, is easy to digest, provides enough necessary nutrients for the body and has the effect of preventing many diseases.
Vietnamese food habits are changing
With the increase in average income, improved living conditions and quality, consumers today tend to upgrade their lives. They eat better, dress better and focus on healthy and safe eating. If in the past, white rice was an indispensable ingredient in the daily meals of Vietnamese people, today, people are gradually switching to eating whole grain rice because of its high nutritional content and lower starch content. This originated in the West, when for a long time, developed countries have favored using cereals such as wheat, whole grain oats… in meals to balance nutrition and improve health.
Along with that, nutritional drinks of plant origin have also become popular to replace animal milk due to many problems related to growth hormones that can affect young children. Many mothers are gradually switching their children to plant-based nutritional drinks such as nut milk and cereals instead of traditional cow’s milk. In addition to factors such as nutrition, safety and health, convenience is always a concern for smart consumers when consuming products. Products packaged with compact designs such as Instant Cereal from Viet Ngu Coc are gradually becoming a trend because of their convenience, ease of movement, use anytime, anywhere, and have a delicious natural taste instead of products using sweeteners and synthetic flavors.
Why instant cereals are popular
The preference for convenient foods is a trend of the times. However, not everyone knows how to eat scientifically so that the body can absorb enough nutrients needed for daily activities. The meals of many Vietnamese families have too much meat and not enough green vegetables. The over-preference for fast food and sugary drinks leads to obesity, diabetes… due to the imbalance in the diet, specifically the lack of nutrients from plants, especially cereals.
So how is nutritious cereal good for the body? Not simply used for dieting, or as a substitute for cow’s milk for those who are lactose intolerant, many studies from prestigious organizations around the world have shown that the nutritional content of cereals can replace foods of animal origin, even better. It contains little saturated fat, lots of fiber, calcium, vitamins B2, B12 and D, and minerals that are beneficial for bones, kidneys, eyes, and brain, helping to effectively prevent common chronic non-communicable diseases of the 21st century such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, and prevent and support cancer treatment.
As the green living trend is being pursued globally, a plant-based diet, typically instant cereals, is also one of the effective ways to contribute to protecting the earth, because it requires less land, less water and less CO2 than producing food from animals.
Many studies have also shown that, among cereals, whole oats are the most effective food. It has a low GI sugar content that controls blood sugar, reduces bad cholesterol, prevents cardiovascular symptoms, controls cravings, stays full for a long time and promotes metabolism. Compared to other nuts such as almonds and walnuts, whole oats have a higher soluble fiber content, are good for digestion, and daily use can help prevent constipation and increase intestinal motility.
Protect your health with a suitable diet
Understanding the nutritional content of each product and having a diet suitable for each physical condition is the best key to protecting the health of yourself and your family. Using fresh, clean food with clear origin and adding nutritious grains in snacks will help the body get enough energy without feeling full and affecting the main meal.
