Nutritional information
Oats consist mainly of carbohydrates, so they are an excellent source of energy for our body. However, they also contain a small amount of protein, as well as good fats. They are also rich in fiber. Numerous studies have shown that including fiber in the diet has multiple benefits for our health.
Quakers contain large amounts of B vitamins, which are very important for our health. Oatmeal contains vitamin B6, riboflavin, thiamine, as well as calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc. They also contain smaller amounts of vitamin E, folic acid and potassium.
Oatmeal and health benefits
1. Cholesterol.
Cholesterol is responsible for a number of cardiovascular diseases and is one of the biggest enemies of our heart. The soluble fiber that oatmeal contains in abundance has the property of binding and removing bad cholesterol, without lowering the levels of good cholesterol.
2. Cancer.
Oatmeal, like other cereals and vegetables, contains a multitude of phytochemicals. Many phytochemicals are known to help reduce the risk of cancer. Also, high fiber consumption has been directly linked to a reduction in the risk of cancers related to hormonal disorders, such as breast, ovarian, uterine, and prostate cancer in men.
3. Sugar.
Consuming quaker helps to slowly and gradually increase blood sugar levels. This control of blood sugar and insulin levels prevents many complications associated with diabetes. Also, with the slow increase in sugar levels, our appetite is controlled, as our energy levels remain stable and we are not hungry often. Thus, we can control our weight more easily.
4. Digestive system.
The high fiber content of oats helps in good bowel function and in combating constipation.
5. Blood pressure.
Scientific research has shown that daily consumption of a serving of Quaker helps fight hypertension and effectively reduces blood pressure.
