Why you must eat oats

Oats are good for health:


Oats though seemingly dull, accompanied by a bowlful of milk can form a very nutritious meal.

 It is packed with fiber which is very essential to regulate your digestive system. Oats are low in calories and help you maintain your waistline.

Here are a few reasons why you should add oats to your regular diet-

1. Oats fill you up - Oats are packed with fiber which keeps you full for a while.

A bowlful of cooked oats contains only about 150 calories and yet it manages to stave off your hunger because of its high fiber content.

The absorption and digestion process slows down when you eat oats thereby restricting your appetite and calorie intake.

 Oats keep you full for a longer time than other calorie-rich meal and delays the hunger pangs.

2. Oats help reduce cholesterol - According to studies, people suffering from high blood cholesterol could reduce their cholesterol levels by consuming 3 grams of soluble fiber every day.

Oats contain the highest amount of soluble fiber among all whole grains (4 grams per cup).

The gel-like soluble fiber transits the intestinal tract and aids in trapping substances which contribute to the rise in blood cholesterol level.

3. Oats are diabetes-friendly - Oatmeal is a perfect substitute for meals high in sugar and saturated fat. It helps to control the level of glucose in your bloodstream and also delivers your daily need of fiber.

People suffering from uncontrolled diabetes can abundantly benefit from consuming oats although it is essential to keep in mind that you should not add sugary toppings or any other synthetic ingredients to your oats so that it retains all the nutrients which are already present in it.

There are many ways in which you can make your oats interesting.

 You can go beyond your breakfast cereal and bake cookies made of oats.

You can also sprinkle them on your pancakes and bread or add them to your smoothie to increase your fiber intake.

 You can also add fruits like bananas or berries to your bowl of oats and make it tastier according to your liking.
