Don’t know what to cook for breakfast? Make yourself some oatmeal. With milk or water, with sugar, but still better without, and always with a handful of fresh berries – this is truly the perfect breakfast. And we will prove it to you now – literally in four counts. Just look what will happen to your health if you eat this porridge at least three times a week.

You will have healthy blood sugar levels
But, of course, only if you prepare the porridge from whole grain flakes: the more fiber they contain, the slower the porridge prepared from them will be digested, and the slower the blood glucose level will rise. Another protector against diabetes is beta-glucan dietary fiber, which is also found in oatmeal.
Thus, recent studies have confirmed that people with type 2 diabetes who regularly ate oatmeal ended up with lower glucose levels.
Cholesterol levels will stabilize and your heart will become stronger
Soluble fiber, which is abundant in oats, helps reduce the level of dangerous LDL cholesterol: it literally forces the liver to more actively remove this cholesterol from the blood.
Additionally, recent studies have confirmed that the chemical compound avenanthramide (AVE), found in oats, can protect our heart and make it healthier and stronger.
Your gut will be happy
For the intestines to work like a clock, it needs fiber: insoluble fiber helps push food through, and also makes the intestines themselves move more actively. Most of us do not get the recommended 25-30 grams of fiber per day – this is a reason to “get it” from oatmeal.
By the way, the better our intestines feel, the happier we are: there are many studies confirming a direct link between the poor functioning of this important organ and an increased tendency to depression.

It will be easier for you to lose weight
The 4 grams of fiber contained in half a glass of cereal will help keep you feeling full for a long time.
You will wait until lunch without any problems and will not have a snack, but it is by intercepting one thing or another between meals that we get the most “empty” calories.
In addition, oatmeal itself is a fairly low-calorie product: a standard serving contains only 150 calories. However, if you are used to adding berries, nuts or cooking porridge with milk, be prepared for the fact that the calorie content of the dish may increase significantly.
