Do you know the benefits of oats?
Oh yes! Oats are not a cereal intended only for horses. It is also excellent for nutrition and men's health.
Did you know that until the 19th century, oats were the basic food grain for the Scots and Scandinavians?
They were right, because it has many virtues. You too can discover the health benefits of oats.
1. A cereal for everyday ailments
Source of many minerals and vitamins (magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, iron, selenium, zinc and vitamin B1), oats are a cereal rich in nutrients.
It is therefore an ally in the fight against everyday ailments.
- The benefit of oats that we know best is its effect on the intestinal transit, because it is rich in fiber. It also has excellent properties in preventing cholesterol and diabetes. It is a very good regulator of the metabolism.
- What is less known, however, is that oats also have calming and soothing benefits. It is therefore effective in the fight against insomnia, but also thehypertension.
- As a poultice, oats have positive effects on rheumatism.
- Finally, and that I tested it, oats take care of the skin. I often use the water that was used to boil my oats to apply it to me with a cotton ball on my face. It gives me a pretty peachy complexion. Every now and then, I apply the porridge or my porridge as a face mask. It is excellent for acne or general skin irritations.
2. How to consume oats?
Oats are mainly found in two forms in commerce: flakes and bran. Oatmeal is one of the basic ingredients of muesli.
With oat bran, we mainly make wonderful pancakes and pancakes.
Its most famous consumption is that of oatmeal soaked and cooked in milk. You have all heard of the famous English porridge? Well, that’s just it.
I personally add a little honey, apple pieces and cinnamon. It is a delight for the taste buds.
3. Precautions
There are still some downsides to consuming too much oats.
Better pay attention to it. The key is not to overdo it. The risk would be even greater if you are athletic or on a diet.
In fact, oats would tend to capture nutrients already present in the food bolus. So certainly, it is a good point to lose weight but on the other hand, the risk of deficiency will be that much bigger.
Because if oats only captured fats and sugars, that would be great. The problem is that it reduces the assimilation of nutrients like vitamins and minerals. Our food intake would thus be reduced by nearly 5%.
The solution is therefore either to limit the doses in oat consumption, or to consume additional food supplements to overcome the risk of deficiency.
