Oat, as a kind of natural healthy miscellaneous grains food with rich nutrition, is naturally favored by many people after people realize its nutritional value. Having said that, I want to ask you, when did you start eating oats? Why did you choose to eat it? Interested friends may wish to talk about "the story of you and oats" in the message area and share it with us.
Oat, as the only grain in the list of "Top Ten Healthy Foods in the World" selected by Time magazine, is rich in dietary fiber, protein and other nutrients, which has the functions of reducing blood fat, lowering blood sugar, increasing satiety, promoting cholesterol excretion, promoting the perfect operation of digestive system, relaxing bowels, preventing osteoporosis and helping to lose weight. Therefore, it has attracted the attention of healthy people and gradually became the darling of their table.
Although oatmeal is 1000, it doesn't mean that all oatmeal is suitable for healthy weight loss. Especially a few years ago, with the appearance of "oatmeal fever", many kinds of oatmeal began to appear in the market, especially those advertising slogans that attracted people's attention, such as calcium, protein, nutritious oatmeal and so on. In fact, it is not more nutritious than pure oatmeal. Don't think that after adding some nutrients, the processed products will definitely surpass the natural products. Although on the one hand, manufacturers sincerely hope to improve the quality of products, but more is a way of publicity to attract consumers to buy first.
At present, the oatmeal sold in the market can be roughly divided into three types: pure oatmeal, wheat germ oatmeal and compound oatmeal. Pure oatmeal means that there is only one ingredient of oatmeal in the formula, and there are no other additives and additives. Wheat germ oatmeal refers to the formula in which wheat germ is added in addition to oats. Both of them are natural and highly nutritious cereal ingredients, and their nutritional value is much higher than that of pure oatmeal. The compound oatmeal is made of a variety of cereals, of which oatmeal only accounts for a small part, and additives such as maltodextrin, sugar, creamer (non-dairy creamer) and essence are added. In addition to good taste, nutrition is greatly reduced, and it will also bring health problems such as obesity.
Therefore, whether from the perspective of health preservation or slimming, eating pure oatmeal and wheat germ oatmeal is more conducive to good health.
(1) Cooking oatmeal, after all, cooking is better than cooking.
Whether it is pure oatmeal or wheat germ oatmeal, β -glucan is the most recommended health care ingredient in oatmeal, and oatmeal can only play a role if it is boiled and dissolved. Even if boiled for only 3 minutes, the dissolution of β -glucan will be greatly increased, while the dissolution of β -glucan in directly brewed oatmeal is very limited.

Just add a proper amount when cooking rice or porridge to make the cooked rice or porridge more delicious and nutritious.
The above two eating methods of oatmeal are the most recommended, which are superior to other eating methods in nutrient absorption and digestion, so they are also the most suitable eating methods for the elderly and healthy people.
