About Oatmeal
Oatmeal is made from ground oats, which are among the healthiest grains on earth. They're a gluten-free whole grain and an excellent source of important vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants. The health benefits of oatmeal include weight loss, lower blood sugar levels, and a reduced risk of heart disease.
Regular consumption of oatmeal has been linked to numerous health benefits due to its high content of fiber, particularly beta-glucan, which has been shown to help lower cholesterol levels and improve heart health.
