Oatmeal Health Benefits

Studies have shown that oats may help you lower your cholesterol (and so do nuts, as found in this recipe). Oatmeal is easy on the digestive tract. Research has shown that whole grains, such as oatmeal, can help with diverticular disease, along with other high-fiber diet foods, such as the fruits (apples, blueberries, and raisins), found in this dish.
You might also enjoy a lower risk of heart disease and certain cancers, as well as a healthier body weight by eating more whole grains, which also include brown rice, whole wheat, whole corn, and other whole, unrefined grains.
