A bowl of oatmeal for breakfast can protect your heart and health!

A large bowl of steaming oatmeal with milk (or eggs) and vegetables (or fruits) is a balanced and heart-healthy breakfast. Research from the Royal College of London in the United Kingdom has proven that consuming 50 grams of oats every morning can reduce blood cholesterol by 87%, reduce heart disease mortality by 60%, and help lower blood pressure.

Oatmeal, the three staple grains, has a lot of nutrients

1. Protein: In every 100 grams of oats, the protein content is 14 grams, which is 1.6 to 22 times higher than rice, white flour, and corn, and almost comparable to beef. The content of lysine contained in it is twice that of rice and white flour. It also contains methionine, chromohydric acid, leuzoic acid, phenylpropanonic acid, arginine, etc.

2. Unsaturated fatty acids: Every 100 grams of oats contains 7 grams of fat, which is 6 to 7 times that of rice. The content of unsaturated fatty acids is relatively large, and the linoleic acid content can reach 3% of the total weight of the kernels.

3. Vitamins and dietary fiber: Every 100 grams of oats contains 10.6 mg of vitamin B, 1 mg of niacin, 69 mg of calcium, 392 mg of phosphorus, and 3.8 mg of iron. The content of vitamin E is also higher than that of rice and white flour. Oats contain 10 to 15 times more soluble dietary fiber than wheat.

4. Phytochemical factors, antioxidants: Phytochemical factors, antioxidants and soluble fiber can also reduce the side effects of high-fat foods and prevent blood vessel clogging by cleaning up cholesterol.

Like many plant foods, the phytochemical factors and antioxidant functions of oats are similar to vitamin E in many ways, and can work synergistically with vitamin E to effectively protect the heart.

5. Stabilize blood sugar: Although every 100 grams of oats can provide the same amount of calories as the same amount of pigs and mutton, after drinking oatmeal, the starch in it will not be immediately decomposed into glucose, so it will not cause blood sugar to rise.
