Oat health benefits
Oats are not only gluten-free, but they also contain essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber. In half a cup of dry oatmeal, you will get more than 100% of the recommended daily intake of manganese. It also provides 13 grams of protein, 5 grams of fat and 8 grams of fiber.
It is also rich in the following nutrients:
- Phosphorus: 41% of RDI
- Magnesium: 34% of RDI
- Copper: 24% of the IDR
- Iron: 20% of the RDI
- Zinc: 20% of the IDR
- Folate: 11% of the RDI
- Vitamin B1 (thiamine): 39% of the RDI
- Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid): 10% of the RDI
- Oats contain a group of antioxidants called avenanthramides, which are found almost exclusively in oats. This antioxidant helps reduce blood pressure and inflammation.
- Oats contain a lot of soluble fiber called beta-glucan. It partially dissolves in water and forms a thick gel-like substance in the intestine. This powerful fiber can reduce cholesterol and blood sugar levels, improve gut bacteria, and increase satiety.
- Oatmeal works to fight obesity as it keeps you fuller for longer. Oat beta-glucan triggers the release of peptide YY (PYY), a hormone produced in the gut during digestion. This satiety hormone increases satiety, reduces calorie intake and prevents obesity.
- Oatmeal helps to reduce constipation due to the high fiber content. On a to study , 59% of elderly patients stopped using laxatives after consuming oat bran daily for three months.
Overall, oats have amazing health benefits and have been a staple food in many cultures for centuries. Due to its caloric density and impressive nutritional profile, oats make for a complete and healthy breakfast.
Making oat pudding only adds to the health benefits as yogurt contains essential proteins and fats. In particular, Greek yogurt is a powerhouse of nutrients and has 40% of the daily recommended protein in 8 oz. It is popular with people on low carb diets as most of the sugars are removed in the filtering process.
