Diet Tip | GET YOUR MORNING OATS
Countless studies have proven that oatmeal is an effective appetite suppressant because it digests slowly in the stomach, which therefore keeps you feeling fuller for longer.
But new research also suggests that it may also help to reduce your risk of developing several obesity-associated conditions, including type 2 diabetes, high levels of bad cholesterol and heart disease.
Unlike other breakfast options, oatmeal is rich in soluble and insoluble fibre, which helps lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels without reducing your amount of HDL (good) cholesterol. This helps to minimize numerous health problems, including heart disease, clogged arteries and high blood pressure.
It is also considered a good type of carbohydrate, reducing your risk for type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, it's packed with antioxidant-rich nutrients and vitamins, including selenium, iron and vitamin E.
