Today’s post is all about why we should all be incorporating more oatmeal into our daily nutrition plan. I have three recipes that I’ll be sharing at the end of this post. As a holistic nutritionist I realized I haven’t created much content around nutrition so I will try to do more of these. If you haven’t already you can check out the last video I did featuring a giant cookie recipe.
HEALTH BENEFITS OF EATING OATMEAL
Oatmeal is very nutritional dense and full of benefits which means it has a lot of nutritional value as opposed to foods that have low nutritional value like junk food. Oatmeal contains polyphenols which are great for your heart health and your blood pressure. These are essential for the functions of your body such as heating and cooling you. It is also packed with antioxidants much like green tea. These are important for cellular level anti-aging and give our bodies a chance to refresh and replenish. Oatmeal is also full of fibre which is needed for your general digestion as well as the sensation of feeling full or satisfied which can make you less likely to reach for food as often or choose foods that aren’t nutritious. You can improve and lower your cholesterol. You can also lower your blood sugar as well which is important for your body functions, concentration and memory. Oatmeal is also a low calorie food. I would recommend trying to eat at least ½ cup of oatmeal everyday. ½ cup is the amount that I personally feel satisfies me the most.
ADDITIONAL OATMEAL BENEFITS
Not only is oatmeal extremely good for us to eat it also contains properties that assist our skin as well. These properties can help soothe our skin and has the ability to work from the outside in. You may notice that there are things such as oatmeal soaks designed to help you improve your skin.
To get you started with your oatmeal journey, I’ve included three great recipes down below. These are ones that I rotate through on a regular basis. I like to enjoy a cookie after my meals for the day especially during the time of practicing OMAD so I don’t feel like I’m starving. Ending your day with a bit of oatmeal is a good strategy for anyone who fasts or participates in OMAD. If you enjoy this type of content with nutritional information as well as recipes let me know on my YouTube channel so I can continue to create more. What I did when I made these cookies is I made a base containing the same ingredients then I split the batter up and created different flavors so they could all cook at the same time and I didn’t need to do additional work. As with all my recipes please adjust the recipes in accordance to your own preferences. In addition to these recipes I occasionally add fruit, almond butter, peanut butter, cream cheese or yogurt to switch it up.
