Health benefits....
One of the most nutritious grains, oats are full
of protein and minerals and contain a soluble fiber that helps the digestive system to work at
an optimum level.
Oats reduce the absorption of carbohydrates into the blood stream, stabilizing blood sugar levels and combating food cravings and hunger pangs.
Oats also help alleviate mood swings...particularly those associated with PMS as oats stabilize estrogen levels....and reduce water retention.
The soluble fiber found in oats lowers cholesterol and blood pressure, boosting cardiovascular health.
Oats may also stimulate the thyroid gland which produces the hormones that regulate the body's metabolizing of food into energy.
