Slow-digesting, healthy carbs and a solid source of protein — these qualities make buckwheat groats excellent for boosting stamina.

There isn’t much information about this online, so I decided to test it on myself. Over a year ago, I started eating buckwheat kasha every day for lunch.

How did it boost my stamina?

I’m no athlete and never swam fast before. But since eating buckwheat daily, I can swim 80 pools nonstop! I used to get tired after 60 pools, but now, even after 80, I feel fresh. Sometimes, if I’m in the mood and have more time, I swim 100 laps of 25 meters.

I’m convinced it’s the buckwheat that made the difference!

Plus, I gradually lost belly fat — it just disappeared over the past year.

Another great thing about roasted buckwheat: it’s light on your stomach. One day, very hungry, I ate two big portions before bed. Fifteen minutes later, I was asleep without any discomfort from a late dinner.

Buckwheat is perfect before exercise, activities, or just a busy workday.
