Oatmeal as Food Star



I love a bowl brimming with hot oatmeal. It's one of the best ways to start your day. Slow-burning complex carbohydrates in oatmeal prolong the feeling of fullness and prevent blood sugar from rising wildly. You want to feel fuller longer and the soluble fiber in oatmeal fills you while lowering blood cholesterol. Oatmeal also contains plant protein, essential for building muscle. Oatmeal is one of the few foods rich in silicon, a mineral responsible for building beautiful skin, hair, bones and teeth. Oats also contain phosphorus, essential for brain and nerve growth during youth.
Star Nutrients:
  • Soluble fiber

  • Protein

  • Complex Carbohydrates

  • Silicon
