Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Oatmeal
Metabolic Effect: Oatmeal helps balance blood sugar and keeps you full for a long time due to its fiber content. Beta-glucan in it helps lower cholesterol and regulates the digestive system.
Consumption Recommendation: You can consume oatmeal with milk, yogurt, or fruits for a more balanced meal. You can sweeten it by adding cinnamon and increase your antioxidant intake.
Things to Consider: Consuming high amounts of oatmeal may cause gas and bloating in some people. It is important to pay attention to portion control. 4 tablespoons of oats are approximately equal to one slice of bread.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from oatmeal, you need to walk at a moderate pace for about 30 minutes. This speeds up your metabolism and increases your energy levels.
