Oatmeal

Have you had a bowl of oatmeal lately?  Check out how good oatmeal is for you and add it to your grocery list.

Rolled or Steel Cut oats, quick 3-minute versions or a bit longer for regular.  It’s easy to find at the grocery store and they are versatile.  

Oatmeal is great as breakfast.  Add some milk and fruit and you add additional goodness.  Prepare hot in the morning or a day ahead as overnight oats.

You can use them in a protein bar or bake them in muffins.  They are even good in a dessert.

Talk about versatility.  Tiny grains with so many uses and such goodness.

When you eat oatmeal you get fiber.  Fiber helps your digestion and can make you feel fuller for longer.  Fiber also helps manage your blood sugar levels.

Oatmeal can make your heart happy too.  It can lower your bad cholesterol and lower your blood pressure.

There’s more!  

Because oatmeal is a probiotic it feeds your good bacteria and helps to ward off the bad bacteria in your stomach.

Oatmeal has great fiber but it also has protein, magnesium and potassium in good amounts.  They are great for diabetics because they don’t have any sugar.

Private Home Health Care loves a warm bowl of steel cut oats with strawberries in the morning.  We also don’t mind them in a healthy muffin either.  Enjoy a bowl today!
