Few breakfast foods pack as nutritious a punch as oatmeal.
Three ways oatmeal
can benefi t your body
Oatmeal is one of many options
people have when sitting
down to breakfast each morning.
Though brand-name cereals or
staples like bacon and eggs might
be the most popular choices at the
breakfast table, few foods pack as
nutritious a punch as oatmeal.
Instant oatmeal might be found
in the pantries of many households.
But it’s important to note that packets
of instant oatmeal are often
loaded with sodium and sugar, which
can compromise the nutritional
benefits of the oats. In fact, WebMD
says some instant oatmeal packets
contain as much as eight teaspoons
of sugar per serving. Store-bought
plain rolled oats, or steel-cut oats,
are typically nutritious and low in
both sugar and sodium.
Oatmeal can provide a great start
to your day and pay other dividends
as well, though it’s important that
consumers read package labels so
they are getting the nutritional benefits
of whole-grain oats without the
added sugar and sodium. The following
are three of the many ways
a morning bowl of oatmeal can benefit
your body:
1. Oatmeal can help
lower ‘bad’ cholesterol
According to the Mayo Clinic,
oatmeal contains soluble fiber,
which can reduce the absorption of
cholesterol into the bloodstream.
And it doesn’t even take much soluble
fiber to reap such benefits. Five
to 10 grams of soluble fiber per day
has been shown to decrease low-density
lipoprotein cholesterol, which
is commonly referred to as “LDL” or
“bad” cholesterol.
2. It is loaded with
vitamins and minerals
The online medical resource
Healthline notes that oats contain
a well-balanced nutrient composition
that can help people get well
on their way to consuming their
recommended daily intake of various
vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
For example, half a cup of
oats contains 41 percent of the RDI
of phosphorous and 20 percent of the
RDI of iron. That same serving contains
51 grams of carbohydrates and
13 grams of protein.
3. It can help people
maintain healthy
weights
Oatmeal, so long as it isn’t instant
oatmeal, is one of the rare
foods that’s both filling and low
in calories. That makes it an ideal
choice for those who want a filling
breakfast that won’t affect their
waistlines. Oatmeal is filling because
of its fiber content. Unlike
other carbohydrates, fiber does not
break down into sugar once it’s consumed.
When fiber is consumed, it
absorbs water and takes up space
in the stomach, leading to feelings
of fullness that can prevent overeating.
The nutritional benefits of oatmeal
make it a must-have item for
anyone who wants to start their day
off in a healthy way.
