Oatmeal – Why it’s NOT just a Meal with Oats

Hello dear Yogilators!
It’s becoming fall outside, that means cooler mornings and less sunshine during the day. So, our bodies crave warm comfy food that helps us stay energized even when the sun is missing.

One of my old time favorites is my beloved OATMEAL or in some countries better known as “porridge” 🙂 I eat it every morning during the week because it’s quick, easy, delicious, and keeps me satisfied and warmed-up inside.

Sure, it might not look the most delicious to some people, but it IS nutritious, delicious and healthy due to its various health benefits like:

  • Lowers cholesterol and reduces high blood pressure and aids your heart health
  • Aids in weight loss because it’s high in fiber which keeps you full longer and improves digestion
  • Stabilizes blood sugar and can reduce the risk of diabetes
  • Oats are 100% natural whole grains and therefore are without any additional preservatives
  • Boosts immune system and can prevent breast cancer due to its phytochemicals like lignans and enterolactone that protect against cancers
  • Contains many vitamins, iron and other minerals
