Oatmeal

 

1. Oatmeal is good for Eczema

Oatmeal calms itchy, inflamed skin and soothes rashes. It is packed with anti-inflammatory properties. You can grind oatmeal with a grinder, pour into a lukewarm bath and soak

2. Oatmeal helps control weight

Helps you to feel fuller longer

3. Reduces cholesterol.

Have you ever heard of soluble fiber? Well, compared to other grains, oats actually have the highest portion of soluble fiber. Soluble fiber helps your intestinal tract trap substances associated with blood cholesterol.

5. Stabilizes blood sugar

What does this mean? We have all experienced a “sugar crash”/ “mid- morning ” after a big meal or sugary breakfast; well, with oatmeal, this doesn’t happen as much. As a result of oatmeal’s high soluble fiber content, its sugar is released more slowly into the blood stream.  It’s important to note that steel cut oats will have more of an effect on stabilizing your blood sugar than instant oats, because they are less processed and thus have more soluble fiber.
