Great Things Happen When You Eat OATMEAL | Dr. Mandell

The most significant benefit of oatmeal — again, thanks to beta-glucan — is probably its role in lowering LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, which is linked to a decreased risk for heart disease. In fact, scientific support for the cholesterol-lowering effects of beta-glucans is so widespread, the FDA allows food manufacturers to make health claims on the packaging of foods like oatmeal. A container of Quaker Oats, for example, includes this statement: As part of a heart-healthy diet, the soluble fiber in oatmeal can help reduce cholesterol.

Technically, pure oats are completely gluten-free; they don't contain gluten proteins at all. The key word here, though, is pure. Many oats are often grown (and transported) with some wheat: While oats are inherently gluten-free, conventional oats may be grown in conditions that introduce some gluten. Getting the right source is important if you’re gluten sensitive.

Great for diabetics…The beta-glucans in oatmeal make sure sugar’s not absorbed too quickly by the body. This reduces blood sugar spikes and keeps your blood sugar levels stable.

The soluble and insoluble fiber in oatmeal adds bulk to your stool and traps water to make your stool softer. Because soft and bulky stools tend to move more easily through your digestive tract, eating oatmeal can help keep you regular so you don't become constipated.
