What is porridge? Porridge, or “porridge” in German, has been eaten around the world for thousands of years. This oat dish originally comes from the Scottish Highlands in Europe, where it has been eaten as “brochan” since the first historical records. In China, it is proven that the first rice porridge was eaten earlier, around 4,500 years ago.

Is porridge healthy? Yes, porridge is healthy. Oats contain a high proportion of carbohydrates, proteins and soluble fiber, as well as unsaturated fatty acids. The oat flakes from which the popular porridge is prepared also contain numerous vitamins, such as vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6 as well as vitamin K and vitamin E. The oat flakes are also not lacking in trace elements and minerals. Iron, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, magnesium, selenium and manganese are found in oatmeal. In addition, oatmeal also keeps our blood sugar levels constant, which prevents sudden cravings. Oatmeal also creates a deep glycemic response in our body, which in turn is gentle on the pancreas.

What is the advantage of a protein-enriched porridge? A protein-enriched porridge has several advantages over traditional porridge:

1. Feel fuller for longer: Protein also helps prolong the feeling of fullness because it is digested more slowly than carbohydrates. If you eat protein-enriched porridge for breakfast, you're likely to stay fuller for longer and are less likely to have cravings or snacking.

2. Boosts metabolism: A high-protein diet can boost metabolism and help the body burn fat. Protein-enriched porridge can help you lose weight faster or maintain your weight better.

3. Improves nutrient intake: When you eat protein-enriched porridge, you not only get protein but also other important nutrients such as fiber, vitamins and minerals.

4. Support in building muscle: Protein is an important nutrient for building and maintaining muscle. If you exercise or are active regularly, a protein-enriched porridge can help provide your muscles with the nutrients they need to support growth and recovery.

5. Improved Body Composition: Protein can help improve physique by helping burn fat and preserve muscle mass. A protein-enriched porridge can help optimize body composition by supporting muscle growth while helping to reduce fat.

What are proteins? Proteins are essential for us humans. There are more than 100,000 proteins in the human body. Depending on their composition, proteins are involved in countless processes in the human body and are therefore important for survival. Proteins are composed of 20 amino acids, which can be broken down using a written name according to the “head-to-tail connection”. Amino acids ensure that the cells in our body can renew and multiply.

An exemplary protein is usually made up of 300 different amino acid sequences. There are countless amino acid sequences that form different structures with equally numerous functions. The amino acids in our body are renewed and exchanged throughout our lives - this important process is called protein biosynthesis. For precisely this reason, it is important that we regularly consume high-quality and different proteins and amino acids.
