Health Benefits of Oats: Eat This Superfood Every Day

September 18, 2020 Posted by Lizzy Briskin Healthy Eating, Healthy Food in Breakfast, High Fiber Foods, Lifestyle, Vegan Lifestyle Tips

Oats are a fiber-rich whole grain that packs some impressive nutritional benefits. We’re covering the most prominent health benefits oats have to offer. And why you should include this superfood in your daily diet.

Oats and health go hand in hand. From porridge to nut- and fruit-filled granola bars, parents have always encouraged their kids to eat more oats. And they have excellent reasons to add more oatmeal to their kid’s plates. 

The good news is that there are endlessly delicious ways to enjoy this superfood. Starting your day with a bowl of Mu Mu Muesli or muesli pancakes is one of the healthiest choices you can make in the morning. 

So what exactly are the health benefits of all those oats? Let’s dig in!

Top Health Reasons to Eat More Oats

Oats Offer Plenty of Fiber

Whole oats, which you’ll find labeled “Old Fashioned” or “Rolled”, are a great source of dietary fiber. Half of a cup of dry oats offers 8 grams of fiber. This is a pretty good start considering that the Mayo Clinic recommends 21-38 grams of fiber per day. 

Fiber is an important part of a healthy diet because it supports a healthy digestive system. Studies show that a high-fiber diet has some impressive health benefits. Fiber can lower your risk of colorectal cancer, reduce cholesterol, and helps patients with diabetes control blood sugar levels. 

In addition, high-fiber foods are more satiating than other foods. This means that a fiber-rich diet can help you maintain a healthy weight. By eating a satisfying amount of fiber, starting at breakfast, you’re less likely to crave sugar and simple carbohydrates. On the other hand, start your day with sugary cereal, you’re likely to crash and cave to cravings.

Beta-Glucan: The Fiber Powerhouse

In particular, oats offer an especially potent form of soluble fiber known as beta-glucan. While all forms of fiber support a healthy lifestyle, studies link this variety in particular to some important benefits. For example, reduced “bad” LDL cholesterol, increased satiety, and increased growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut. 

These bacteria help keep your immune system strong so you can avoid illness and fight off infections and other invaders. 

Oats Pack Powerful & Unique Antioxidants

In addition to fiber, whole oats offer a host of powerful antioxidants. These dietary compounds come from whole grains, produce, legumes, and other whole foods. They help your body neutralize free radicals. Free radicals are compounds that can cause cancer and other illnesses. 

The specific group of antioxidants that you’ll find in oats are called avenanthramides. For starters, this group is especially anti-inflammatory. In addition, studies suggest that they increase blood flow throughout the body. Why is increased blood flow beneficial? Because your blood delivers oxygen to your organs, brain, and muscles. And more oxygen means better memory, muscle recovery, and metabolism functioning. 

Mu Mu Muesli as Part of an Oat-Filled Diet

Ultimately, it’s easy to see why oats including Mu Mu Muesli are beneficial for your health today and long-term. Because of the impressive health benefits of oats, and the delicious, nutty taste, we pack each bag full of whole-grain organic rolled oats. 

You’ll notice that it’s the first ingredient on all of our products! So break out a bowl and fill it with hearty oat-filled muesli to start every day on a healthy note. If you haven’t made a choice about what you’d like to try, try one of our pancake-muesli combos.
