I always try to start the day with oatmeal, mostly because it's a habit that has stuck in my mind since I was a child.
My father always said that oats would make me stronger and I guess his words remained.
But apparently in this case, seems like he really knew what he was saying.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day - so it should be healthy and give you energy for the whole day.
Oatmeal is one of the best options you can choose because of the large amount of proteins, vitamins, carbohydrates and nutrients.
These are the amazing things will happend to your body if you start eating oatmeal for breakfast.
1. Lowers cholesterol level
Most of us know that fiber is good for our stomach, but it turns out that there are fibers that are more useful than others. One of these fibers is β-glucan, which helps lower the level of cholesterol in the body.
Oatmeal is filled with β-glucan, gel generating fiber that sits under the shell of the oats.
2. Prevents colorectal cancer
Many studies show that daily consumption of oats reduces the risk of colon cancer.
Nearly 2 million people have taken part in these studies.
3. Weight loss
The Journal of the American College of Nutrition published a study, in which half of the participants ate oatmeal for breakfast, while the other half ate other cereal.
Each participant ate 363 calories - but those who ate oatmeal felt full for longer time and therefore had an easier time losing weight.
4. Gives you more energy
Oatmeal is rich in carbohydrates and provides the body with vital energy. Ground oatmeal is the best way to feel full. They cause the tooth enzymes and the digestion system to work a little harder to dissolve the grain.
In addition to carbohydrates, oatmeal contains vitamins B and E, which help the body fight various diseases.

6. Contain lots of protein
Oatmeal triumphs over any other type of cereal for protein, fatty acids and amino acids.
One serving (about 8 tablespoons) of oats gives 15 percent of the recommended daily protein intake. Perfect for those who do not eat meat.

You probably already know that fiber is good for digestion. WebMD website recommends eating 25-35 grams of fiber every day.
Oatmeal contains about 20% of the recommended daily amount. So if you start the day with oatmeal you are already on the right path.
Fibers help the intestine work properly and prevent constipation, and it also gives you a feeling of satiety for a longer time.
8. Good for skin
Oats are found in most skin products and can help with infections and skin problems.
Researchers say oatmeal helps treat skin problems such as eczema.

Oatmeal contains a lot of antioxidants. One of them is Avanthamramides which is only found in oatmeal and has excellent properties.
It helps against itching and inflammation and helps lower blood pressure.
I knew that oats were a good choice for breakfast, but I had no idea she had so many benefits.
And if you want to diversify, there are many options to choose from. Why not eat oatmeal with apple, raisins or cinnamon on a cold autumn day? Or with strawberries and fresh blueberries?
