Smart-Substitutions-to-Eat-Healthy<br />
OATMEAL: ONE FOOD, MANY BENEFITS<br />
Oatmeal is a power food as it delivers both<br />
a bang for your buck and numerous health<br />
benefits. During the summer months, crispy,<br />
cool corn flakes may sound like a better<br />
choice vs. a hot bowl of oatmeal, but read<br />
on. You’ll be glad to make the switch:<br />
1. Oats contain both soluble and insoluble<br />
fiber. Soluble fibers help lower cholesterol and stabilize blood glucose<br />
levels. The insoluble fiber in oats provide a “moving” experience by<br />
curtailing constipation and improving intestinal health.<br />
2. Oats make an easy, balanced breakfast. One cup of cooked oatmeal<br />
(1/2 cup of uncooked) contains about 150 calories, four grams of fiber<br />
(about half soluble and half insoluble) and six grams of protein. To<br />
boost protein further, my favorite way to eat oatmeal is with a swirl of<br />
almond butter nestled within. This powerful combo will keep you away<br />
from that mid-morning visit to the vending machine.<br />
3. Oats provide important minerals. Nutrient-rich oatmeal contains<br />
thiamin, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, manganese, selenium and iron.<br />
4. Oats are naturally gluten-free, but check with manufacturers to ensure<br />
that their products are not made using the same equipment as other<br />
potentially contaminating grains.<br />
5. Oats could help you control your weight by keeping you feeling fuller<br />
longer. Choosing whole grains could squash hunger and simultaneously<br />
provide that pleasant full feeling. NOTE: monitor portion sizes.<br />
