Buckwheat - an excellent food with growing popularity, is often confused with cereals and is avoided for fear of gluten. However, it does not belong to the wheat family, but to the dock and does not contain gluten - the grains are saturated with phytochemicals, antioxidants, fiber and minerals. 100 g of saddle contains: 343 calories; 231 mg of magnesium; 347 mg phosphorus; 2.2 mg of iron; 2.4 mg zinc; 8.3 μg selenium; 7 mg vitamin B3; 0.4 mg vitamin B2 and 0.26 mg vitamin B6.
Buckwheat contains much more protein than wheat and is not deficient in lysine like it. Lysine is an essential amino acid that cannot be synthesized in the human body. If you do not take enough lysine, collagen production suffers the most - the main structural protein of most tissues - tendons, joints, cartilage, skin, blood vessels and more.

Milk refreshes the brain early in the morning - magnesium and vitamin D stimulate brain activity. In addition, milk increases brain levels of glutathione - an antioxidant that protects brain tissue from metabolic toxins, heavy metals, etc., turning them into non-toxic water-soluble products that can be expelled from cells.
Both milk and buckwheat create a lasting feeling of satiety - their combined effect can lead to a significantly reduced appetite during the day. Their high protein content is beneficial for both children and adults.
