Oatmeal is much more than a base soup for porridge, and in recent years it has become very trendy. It can be found in acai bowls, stews or even as a base for cakes and cookies. Unlike other trends, this trend is actually very lucrative in terms of health. Here are 5 reasons for this:

A source of dietary

fiber Dietary fiber is found in our food and helps maintain our health in several ways; Dietary fiber helps maintain normal blood sugar and fat levels. They are a source of nutrition for our good gut bacteria (prebiotics) and thus help them to thrive, help maintain the proper functioning of the digestive system and also help us feel good satiety after a meal. In oatmeal you will find 3.6 grams of dietary fiber, which is more than 10 percent of the recommended daily intake.

Increased feeling of satiety

In addition to the dietary fiber that helps achieve a feeling of satiety, oatmeal contains a unique dietary fiber called beta glucan.

Beta-glucan has been found in studies to increase satiety compared to other fiber by increasing the viscosity of the food eaten.

A feeling of satiety not only helps us to postpone the next eating date, but also helps us to enjoy the amount of food that is right for us and not an excessive amount.

Thus, indirectly incorporating oats in the daily diet also helps in maintaining a healthy weight.

Increased satiety, protein and lots more.

Iron deficiency can cause paleness, severe fatigue, difficulty concentrating and speeding up the heart rate. Although oats is not a major source of iron, the amount of the mineral portion is not negligible and helps achieve the amount of iron daily requirement.
