Oatmeal, porridge, gruel. No matter what you call it, nothing tops it as the perfect start to your morning. The stuff is bursting with fiber and heart-protective nutrients—plus, it may ward off diabetes and high blood pressure. If you’re not already obsessed with this super-food, here are eight reasons why you should be eating oatmeal regularly.
1. Over 40 studies show that eating oatmeal may help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. The soluble fiber in oats helps remove LDL or "bad" cholesterol, while maintaining the good cholesterol that your body needs.
2. The soluble fiber in oatmeal absorbs a considerable amount of water which significantly slows down your digestive process. This result is that you'll feel full longer, which in the long run will help you to control your weight by eating less throughout the day
3. New research suggests that eating oatmeal may reduce the risk for type 2 diabetes. In fact, the American Diabetes Association already recommends that people with diabetes eat grains like oats. The soluble fiber in these foods help to control blood glucose levels.
4. According to recent studies, a diet that includes oatmeal may help reduce high blood pressure. The reduction is linked to the increase in soluble fiber provided by oatmeal. Oats contain more soluble fiber than whole wheat, rice or corn.
5.Oatmeal contains a wide array of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and is a good source of protein, complex carbohydrates and iron.
6 .The fiber and other nutrients found in oatmeal may actually reduce the risk for certain cancers.
7. We’ve been obsessed with Rocket Foods oatmeal in a cup, which you can conveniently warm up in the microwave or just pour hot water into the cup and let it steam for a bit. It’s great for breakfast or as a snack anytime during the day. A quick, healthy and delicious meal in less than a minute!
8. Oatmeal can be absolutely delicious! As you can probably tell by now, we’re a little biased towards Rocket Foods Inc. They have three different flavours of oatmeal – Redberry Blues, Granny’s Apple Pie (my personal favourite) and Apple Berry Jazz. Their oatmeal is made with the purest oats that are certified gluten-free, micro-dried fruits that taste delicious and dehydrated organic sugarcane juices that sweetened the oatmeal naturally.
