I recently read an article that said oatmeal can decrease your bad cholesterol. I am not sure how true that is. But adding this to your diet is really beneficial to your health. Here is why.
Reasons to make pressure cooker oatmeal
Oatmeal is a nutritious and healthy breakfast option for several reasons:
- High in Fiber: Oatmeal is high in fiber, which helps keep you feeling full for longer and can aid in digestion. A half-cup serving of dry oats provides 4 grams of fiber, which is about 15% of the daily recommended intake.
- Low in Calories: Oatmeal is relatively low in calories, making it a great breakfast option for those watching their calorie intake. A half-cup serving of dry oats contains around 150 calories.
- Rich in Nutrients: Oatmeal is a good source of vitamins and minerals such as iron, magnesium, zinc, and B vitamins.
- Helps Control Blood Sugar: The fiber in oatmeal can help regulate blood sugar levels, which is especially important for people with diabetes.
- May Lower Cholesterol: Oatmeal contains beta-glucan, a type of fiber that has been shown to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels.
Overall, oatmeal is a healthy and nutritious breakfast option that can help you meet your daily recommended intake of fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
