Oatmeal is one of the best foods to eat

Hello-
You may or may not have heard this before but oatmeal is one of the best foods you can eat.
Eating 1.5 cups of cooked oatmeal provides 4.5 grams of fiber — enough to lower your cholesterol. To mix it up a little, try oat bran or cold cereal made with oatmeal or oat bran. Eat just one of these nutritional powerhouses and you’ll also get about 30 percent of the Daily Value (DV) for vitamin K, which is vital for healthy bones.
Oatmeal is excellent for breakfast or an anytime meal. Add skim milk and sweeten with dried fruit like bananas or apricots for a nutritional bounty. Oatmeal’s attributes promote slower and prolonged release of glucose into the blood system which enhances cognitive performance.
I add cinnamon, blueberries, and walnuts to my oatmeal to add even more fiber and some good fats. You have to mix it up a little because eating oatmeal everyday can get dull after a while. You need variety.
Eating a healthy breakfast will keep you from binging mid-morning or eating way too much at lunch because you’re ravenous. By satisfying your hunger in the right way, you’ll enjoy better concentration during those productive morning hours.
Try adding a bowl of oatmeal to your next breakfast.
