Hey everyone! I am new to this platform and joined it because of one of my friends'referral. Hoping to get love and support from fellow bloggers. So here is my first blog.

Oatmeal is considered as healthy breakfast and recommended by health experts. Are oats as healthy as our experts claims? Here's what science say about having oatmeal regularly and it's health benefits.

Decreased risk of heart disease 

Oatmeal contains a good amount of fiber content. Because of this, it can help lower “bad” LDL cholesterol, stabilize blood sugar levels and even lower high blood pressure. This will minimise the risk of developing various cardiovascular diseases.

Feel fuller for longer periods 

Fiber, a carbohydrate which our body cannot digest and oats are great source of fiber. As fiber slows down the digestion, one won't feel as hungry for a longer period. Taking fiber-rich foods helps avoiding rise and low in your blood sugar levels.

Good for gut bacteria

Oatmeal feeds the good bacteria in your gut as it is a prebiotic food. Maintaining healthy gut microbiome will benefit immune systema and improves digestion. 

Easy time in the bathroom

Oat contains beta-glucan, a special type of soluble fiber. It forms a gel like consistency in the gut and thus helps things to move smoothly through digestive tract. This helps with bulking up stool and making it easy for bowel movement.

Helps to manage weight easier 

Oatmeal can even support weight loss. Beta-glucan present in it has positive effects on lowering blood lipids and reducing weight. Plus, fiber content makes you fuller which in turn can help you with eating less calories and managing your weight. Besides this, beta-glucan promotes the release of peptide YY. This hormone is produced in the gut and hels with satiety.

High fiber content and prebiotic present in oatmeal can benefit your body in many ways. Including oatmeal in your regular diet plan can potentially lower risk of diseases, makes your gut healthy, keep you fuller for long time and make your bowel movements easy.

You can enjoy oatmeal warm, soaking overnight, bake them into muffins or bars or include them into you waffles. Try to include oatmeal in your diet and see the results on your own.
