First off, what exactly is a superfood? While this isn’t a real term in general superfoods are nutrient powerhouses that pack large doses of antioxidants, polyphenols, vitamins, and minerals. Eating them may reduce the risk of chronic disease, and prolong life, and people who eat more of them are healthier and thinner than those who don’t.
You should try to incorporate these foods into your daily diet everyday. Today I’m going to talk about one of my personal favorite breakfast staples: Oats!
Why they’re super: Full of fiber, oats are a rich source of magnesium, potassium, and phytonutrients. They contain a special type of fiber that helps to lower cholesterol and prevent heart disease. Magnesium works to regulate blood-sugar levels, and research suggests that eating whole-grain oats may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Oats can be utilized in many different ways and are good at any meal. So the next time you’re at the store, consider picking up this wonderful ingredient!
