Health Note- Rolled Oats

Beloved,
 I wish above all things that thou mayest...be in health...
3 John 1:2

"Oatmeal is meal made from rolled or ground oats. In the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, the term "porridge"
.
Studies have shown that if you eat a bowl of oatmeal everyday your blood
cholesterol levels, especially if they are too high, will drop, because of the cereal's soluble fiber content.

In 1997, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) agreed that foods with high levels of rolled oats or oat bran could include data on their labels about their cardiovascular heart benefits if accompanied with a low-fat diet.

Oats is rich in complex carbohydrates, as well as water-soluble fiber, which slow digestion down and stabilize levels of blood-glucose.
Oatmeal is very rich in B vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, folate, and potassium.
Coarse or steel-cut oats contain more fiber than instant varieties."
