Oatmeal


Touted as the breakfast of athletes all around the world, this mushy, gushy delicious grain can be the first addition you could make to your new and healthy diet and lifestyle change.


Unlike other breakfast cereals that are loaded with sugar and stripped of all
fiber, which give you a sugar-loaded burst of energy and then drop
drastically, allowing it to drop.


Oats are slow to digest and thus provide you a steady sustained flow of energy to take you through the first few hours of the day.


Oatmeal is also loaded with fiber, especially the soluble kind, and has thus been proven to be invaluable in the battle against high cholesterol and triglyceride levels.


Mix it with milk, fruit, yoghurt or nuts; have it hot or cold; use it in cooking -- just make sure to make this heart healthy food a part of your daily diet.
