The Health Benefits Of Oatmeal
What Is Oatmeal?
Oatmeal is a whole grain that is grown globally. This is partly because
it can be grown in most soil conditions including those that are too
harsh for other crops.
When they are harvested the oats, specifically the bran and germ are
removed from the husk and roasted which gives them a distinctive
flavor.
How Can It Help?
Oatmeal is a great source of fiber and contains various nutrients that
provide various health benefits.
The main ones are as follows;
• Lower Cholesterol - A daily bowl of oatmeal has been shown in
various studies to lower cholesterol. You are at risk of a heart
attack or strokes if your cholesterol levels are too high because
blood vessels can become blocked. This is why it is beneficial to
have oatmeal or porridge for breakfast.
• Reduced risk of heart disease - New research has found that the
antioxidants that are in oats are very good at reducing the
amount of free radicals in the body, and specifically those that
affect cholesterol in the body. Some cholesterol is good as this
helps nutrients get to blood cells. Oats are approved by the FDA
to display claims stating this as well.
