Eating at least one serving of oats a day acts as an amazing weight loss tool. This is because oats contain a high amount of both soluble and insoluble fiber. As the soluble fiber of oats is digested, it forms a gel, which causes the viscosity of the contents of the stomach and small intestine to be increased. The gel delays stomach emptying making you feel full longer which helps with weight loss. New research suggests that children between ages 2-18 years old who have a constant intake of oatmeal lowered their risk of obesity. The research found that the children who ate oatmeal were 50% less likely to become overweight, when compared to those children that did not eat it. The insoluble fiber, meanwhile, passes through the intestines without being broken down and therefore improves elimination, helping vitamins and minerals to be effectively utilized and keeping the body from craving food because it is nutrient deficient. Oats also keep blood sugar levels stable, ensuring that we don’t crash and then overeat to compensate. Oats do this by prolonging the absorption of carbohydrates into the bloodstream. Other benefits to eating oats every day are lowered cholesterol, immune stimulation, cancer fighting boosters, and a regulation in blood pressure. Oatmeal (steel cut is best) is a great way to start off the morning, but making nutritional oat bars with honey or mollasses as a sweetener can be much more conveinent. Just take 2 cups of oats, add dried fruit, peanut butter, or nuts to taste, add 1/3 cup honey, mollasses, or 1/4 cup agave nectar. Stir. Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Voila! Also try oatstraw tea as a great nerve tonic and stress buster. This can be found at many health food stores or at shiningmountainherbs.com.
