As summer comes to an end and the autumn weather slowly begins to take over, it’s important to have all those great foods that keep us warm in our kitchens, ready to go.
One of the best foods to eat during the colder days is oatmeal. And one of the many great aspects about oatmeal (other than how convenient and fast it is to make) is it can hold us over pretty much any time of the day. It’s a great way to start off the day for breakfast and is equally as satisfying mid-day as a snack.
But did you know that oatmeal carries the power to improve our body’s health? Here are the top 3 reasons why women should eat it:
Oatmeal Prevents Breast Cancer: According to naturalhomeandgarden.com, because of oatmeal’s high fiber content, it can help protect against breast cancer. Natural Home and Garden wrote, “A UK Women’s Cohort Study found that pre-menopausal women who ate fiber from whole grains had a 41 percent less risk of developing breast cancer.”
Oatmeal Stabilizes Blood Sugar: Have you ever experienced those awful middle-of-the-day “crashes”? If so, oatmeal serves as a great way to remedy that. The fiber content in oatmeal will not cause your body to react in the same way it does to carbs and sugars, according to symptomfind.com, and you can avoid those crashes once and for all.
Oatmeal Will Help You Lose Weight: After eating oatmeal, you will be more than likely left with a satisfied, full feeling. The good news is you will feel this sensation of fullness for longer because of the fiber in oatmeal. Symptomfind.com states that “Fiber will increase the viscosity of the stomach’s contents so that it will take longer to empty.” The fiber will therefore, create a great chain reaction because if you feel like you are full longer, you will not snack as much throughout the day. If you don't eat as much, that will decrease the amount of calories you consume, and you will lose weight!
The fiber content in oatmeal is extremely beneficial. So as the weather cools down, consider stocking up on oatmeal. It is a fast and easy way to improve many different aspects of your life.
