5 arguments in favor of oatmeal

You are lucky if your parents taught you to eat porridge for Breakfast. Kasha, that's our traditional dish and every day there are new studies in its favor.

Thus, we consider 5 new arguments, to eat in the mornings porridge:

1. Oats are good for your heart
It contains bio-active, antioxidant compounds called "avenanthramides" that clean arteries, prevent fat accumulation and reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer.

2. Oats are Packed with fiber (4 grams per 1 Cup).
Soluble fiber (beta-glucan) is important for catching substances related to maintenance of high levels of cholesterol and cleaning the intestinal tract.

Some studies have shown that fiber oats can reduce cholesterol levels by 23%. They perform the function of a scrub when we move in the intestines and reduce constipation. The presence of fiber can also ease heartburn in people who suffer from gastro-esophageal reflux.

3. Oats are filled with nutrients
It is rich in vitamin B, folic acid, protein (6 g per Cup), manganese, magnesium, and other nutrients.

4. Oats helps to fight with obesity and weight gain.
A recent study involving 10,000 children showed that those who ate cereal regularly, less than half were obese.

5. Oats satisfies hunger longer.
Oats are filled with "low-glycemic carbohydrate-containing", which means that it takes longer in digestion and absorption. So, eating a bowl of cereal that only contains about 150 calories, you will feel full much longer than if you eat a sandwich or a serving of muesli.

Avoid the pre-flavored packages of oatmeal, which contain unnecessary sugar and additives. Better build your recipe based on dried fruits and honey
