3 Awesome Benefits Of Eating Oatmeal Daily
==============================
I’ve received a question asking me if it’s bad to eat oatmeal every day so I decided to make a video about it. I start by giving some nutrition advice and then I will tell you the top 3 health benefits of eating oatmeal:
Naturally Gluten Free
If you’re concerned about gluten, oats are naturally gluten free. Just double check the label to make sure it’s NOT manufactured with other gluten products.
Good Source Of Fiber
They are a good source of fiber, especially large amounts of beta-glucan soluble fiber.
Beta-glucan partially dissolves in water and forms a thick, gel-like solution in the gut.
The health benefits of beta-glucan fiber include:
Reduced LDL and total cholesterol levels
Reduced blood sugar and insulin response )
Increased feeling of fullness
Increased growth of good bacteria in the digestive tract
This fiber has two main benefits
Supports healthy cholesterol and lower LDL levels.
It can also help improve blood sugar by both lowering levels and increasing insulin sensitivity.
Lastly, because it’s slow to digest, you feel fuller longer and this helps reduce hunger and can help you lose weight.
Gut Health
Oats also improves gut health, gut bacteria and keeps you regular by reducing constipation.
… I think these are the 3 main health benefits.
Of course, oats are full of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals
Half a cup (78 grams) of dry oats contains (5):
Manganese: 191% of the RDI
Phosphorus: 41% of the RDI
Magnesium: 34% of the RDI
Copper: 24% of the RDI
Iron: 20% of the RDI
Zinc: 20% of the RDI
Folate: 11% of the RDI
Vitamin B1 (thiamin): 39% of the RDI
Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid): 10% of the RDI
As far as negatives or “cons”…. Don’t eat an oatmeal muffin and think you’re getting the same benefits of just regular oatmeal by itself.
Yes, a muffin or some similar snack food may have some oats, but it also has a lot of other junk, fats, sugars, and extra calories.
What you want is just regular organic oatmeal.
Now, as to which type of oats are the best?… We typically have 3 main ones
Steel-Cut Oats
Rolled Oats
Quick Oats
Steel-Cut Oats
Also known as Irish oatmeal, steel-cut oats are most closely related to the original, unprocessed oat.
Steel cut oats have a coarser, chewier texture and nuttier flavor than rolled or quick oats.
They have the lowest glycemic index and the highest fiber content.
Unfortunately, they also take longer to prepare, with average cooking times varying 15–30 minutes.
However, you can soak steel-cut oats beforehand to reduce the cooking time.
Rolled Oats
Rolled oats, or old-fashioned oats, are oat that have gone through a steaming and flattening process.
They have a milder flavor and softer texture and take much less time to make than steel-cut oats, as they have been partially cooked.
A bowl of rolled oats takes 2–5 minutes to prepare.
Rolled oats can also be added to goods like cookies, cakes, muffins and bread.
Quick Oats
Quick oats or quick-cooking oats are rolled oats that go through further processing to decrease cooking time.
They’re partially cooked by steaming and then rolled even thinner than old-fashioned oats.
They cook within a few minutes, have a mild flavor and soft, mushy texture.
Quick oats are the least healthy of the 3 types.
