Nutrition Facts

OATS, So Good For You!!!

Oats are so very awesome!

They help your body in so many was. Now I am talking about natural oats instant or quick and steel cut. Not the kind that come in those cute little pre-sized packages with tons of sugar added.

Lowers and Keeps Cholesterol Down: A 1½ ounces (43 grams) of oatmeal resulted in a loss of 3% in total cholesterol and a 14% reduction in bad cholesterol after two months.

Keeps your blood sugars stable: Eating oats can help with not rise your blood sugars over a longer time period.

Reduce Cancer Risks: Oats, like other grains and vegetables, contain hundreds of phytochemicals (plant chemicals). Phytoestrogen compounds, called lignans, in oats have been linked to decreased risk of hormone-related diseases such as breast cancer.

Rich Soluble Fiber: A daily serving of whole oats rich in soluble fiber can reduce hypertension, or high blood pressure, and so reduce the need for anti-hypertensive medication.

High Fiber Food: Oats have a high fiber content. Fiber is necessary in keeping bowel movements regular.

Enhances Athletic Performance: Oats have been shown in scientific studies to favorably alter metabolism and enhance performance when ingested 45 minutes to 1 hour before exercise of moderate intensity.

Aids in Weight loss: Oatmeal is considered one of the best foods to eat for weight loss. It preforms as a filler and provides more energy than in other carbohydrate diets. As the soluble fiber of oats is digested, it forms a gel, which causes the viscosity of the contents of the stomach and small intestine to be increased, feeling fuller longer.

Acts as Anti-depressant: Eating oats helps in dealing with depression. It has been proven that oats work as an anti-depressant and help in keeping the mind calm. Consumption of unrefined oatmeal is said to reduce stress, while cooked oats helps to get rid of fats.

Quality Proteins: According to the World Health Organization (WHO) they have confirmed that the protein quality in oats is equal to that of soy protein.
