OAT-MEAL HEALTH BENEFITS

Oatmeal is one of those meals you always find on lists of healthy foods you should be eating, and there’s a good reason for that: Research shows that it’s helpful in reducing cholesterol, lowering blood pressure, boosting immunity, and reducing the risk of heart disease. And an oatmeal diet which can mean eating oatmeal for a couple of meals a day and then eating a nutritious dinner has also been shown to be an effective way to lose weight.

How Oatmeal Helps:-

Oatmeal

1. helps you stay full 

Do you know how you can eat a giant doughnut and feel hungry a couple of hours later? If you eat oatmeal, you’ll feel fuller for a longer period of time. That’s because oatmeal contains a special fiber called beta-glucan, which can trigger hormones that tell you to stop eating. Beta-glucan is also sticky, so oatmeal stays in your system for a longer period of time.

2. help reduce fat in our bodies 

Insulin, which is released by the body in response to blood sugar, is the hormone that tells our bodies whether to store energy as fat. When you eat oatmeal, it helps keep blood sugar from spiking, which means less insulin and less fat-building.

3. Reduce cholesterol

the fibers in oatmeal bind to cholesterol molecules and carry them out of the body. Research shows that oatmeal can reduce “bad” LDL cholesterol by as much as 10 percent in people who eat a bowl of oatmeal a day. Even better: The more oatmeal you eat, the more your cholesterol may go down, according to studies.

It’s not clear exactly why, but research shows that eating oatmeal triggers cravings for healthier foods like healthy protein and veggies foods that are high in magnesium, a lower belly fat-reducing mineral, and vitamins that rev up metabolism like B vitamins.

4. boost immunity.

 the fibers in oatmeal may help white blood cells track down infections and help remove them from the body. These fibers may also disable some bacteria and viruses and help you get better faster when you have a cold or infection.

5. helps fight cancer. 

Oatmeal contains a phytochemical called enterolactone, which may help regulate hormone levels in women according to some early research.
