Summer is coming and
everybody is worried about their weight and health. Diets to reduce the
percentage of fat and cholesterol are very popular among population but, most
of the time they represent a risk to our health (think about the apple diet,
crazy! Isn’t it?). The easiest solution is a really simple meal present in most
of the kitchens around the World: the oatmeal!
A nutritionist said: “If you eat more oatmeal you can
drastically improve the quality of your life.” The truth
is that plenty studies prove that she is right. In fact, the regular
consumption of ¾ cup of oatmeal at breakfast (or whenever you want) may reduce
the risks for many diseases (type 2 diabetes, heart diseases and cholesterol),
to help to lose weight and to reduce high blood pressure. Apply it directly to
the skin also helps to reduce the acne and several skin problems, as well as
the huge relief that a bath of it may produce to your stress.
As you could see, oat
is a complete meal. By eating it regularly we can not only reduce a size, but do
it in a healthy way. Its higher levels of fiber helps us to decrease the
possibilities to have cholesterol and heart problems, as well as diabetes in
the future. I think that is increadibly easy. You can prepare it really quickly and save
a lot of money. At least I will try to it my oatmeal and from now on Mr. Quaker
will be my best friend.
This guy will teach you how to prepare the perfect bowl of oatmeal. Watch it, prepare it and enjoy it!
It is incredible to learn that something as simple and easy to get as oatmeal can help us that much. I agree with you, many times people try to lose weight in stupid ways, such as the diet you have mentioned. In those cases, they achieve their goal to look slimmer; but what about the health? Sometimes people tend to forget that looking great from the outside is less important that being and feeling great in the inside.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that some years ago I used to hate oatmeal, but then i realized how useful for our healthy life is. It helps considerably to reduce our slow digestive problems which allow us to feel less tired and more active in daily life.
ReplyDeleteOn the other side, I need to say that this cereal is not very advisable for the ones who suffer obesity or needs to lose weight in a few weeks. The problem is that this type of food may be high in fiber but it is even higher in calories, at the same time. So, in order to stop gaining weight maybe oatmeal is not the best option. It could be for normal weight people, but not for everyone.
I know this, because my mom went to the nutritionist and told her: “Quaker is prohibited as well as integral bread”. The reason was simple; they are not dangerous at all, but they would increase your weight, which will produce future problems for your health. Besides, my sister visited another doctor, who advised her food with high levels of fiber. This is because my young sister is very thin and these cereals will help her prevent some diseases, and the vulnerability of low defenses.
