A hearty bowl of OATMEAL at breakfast “sticks to your ribs”. Oatmeal contains soluble fiber which stays in the stomach longer and helps you feel fuller, longer. The soluble fiber in oatmeal has been shown to decrease low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol or “bad cholesterol” by 10-15%, particularly when consumed as part of a low-fat diet, decrease risk of high blood pressure, which can help diabetics achieve better glycemic control and prevent insulin resistance.
A high fiber diet has also been shown to reduce the risk of colon cancer.
Oats have long been associated with a healthy diet and lifestyle and have many nutritional benefits for the whole family.
Rolled oats are de-hulled then steamed, which partially cooks the oat, and then flattened between two rollers. They are sometimes referred to as old fashioned oats.
Steel-cut oats still contain the whole oat grain, including the oat bran. They are passed through steel cutters, which chop them into pieces.
Instant oats are produced the same way as rolled oats, but they are steamed for a longer period of time to completely cook them before the drying process. Instant oats often have sweeteners or flavors added to them.
Actually, the less processed the oats are, the more fiber they contain and the more health benefits can be gained from eating them.
