Tip 18: Eat Oatmeal At Least Twice Per Week

Oatmeal, especially whole-grain oatmeal such as Bob’s Red Mill, is high in fiber, complex carbohydrates, and is a good source of protein.  A breakfast including oatmeal gives us more energy, keeps us satiated longer, and has been demonstrated to help lower cholesterol.  This is in part because the fiber in whole-grain oatmeal binds to cholesterol in the intestine and carries the cholesterol out of the body in the stool.  Eating whole-grain oatmeal at least twice per week can help us to lose or maintain a healthy weight and improve our overall health.
