Oats and oatmeal products are touted as a natural wonder food because of their
high water-soluble fiber content,.
Oats have numerous uses in food; most commonly,
they are rolled or crushed into oatmeal, or ground into fine oat flour. Oatmeal
is chiefly eaten as porridge, but may also be used in a variety of baked goods,
such as oatcakes, oatmeal cookies, and oat bread.
A steaming bowl of fresh cooked oatmeal is the
perfect way to start off your day, especially if you are trying to prevent or
are currently dealing with heart disease or diabetes. Oats, oat bran, and
oatmeal contain a specific type of fiber known as beta-glucan. Since 1963, study
after study has proven the beneficial effects of this special fiber on
cholesterol levels. Studies show that in individuals with high cholesterol
(above 220 mg/dl), consuming just 3 grams of soluble oat fiber per day (an
amount found in one bowl of oatmeal) typically lowers total cholesterol by
8-23%.
A study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine confirms that eating high
fiber foods, such as oats, helps prevent heart disease. Almost 10,000 American
adults participated in this study and were followed for 19 years. People eating
the most fiber, 21 grams per day, had 12% less coronary heart disease (CHD) and
11% less cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared to those eating the least, 5
grams daily. Those eating the most water-soluble dietary fiber fared even better
with a 15% reduction in risk of CHD and a 10% risk reduction in CVD.
