Berries goji, acai and macui, quinoa - only the lazy today does not talk about exotic superfoods. However, there is no need to go far: we recall the superfood familiar from childhood, available to everyone and everyone - oatmeal . There are many ways to make oatmeal not boring. And also let's remember the reasons to start eating oatmeal more often.
Oatmeal is not inferior to other superfoods in its nutritional properties. It contains a special type of soluble fiber - beta-glucan - among other things, it stimulates the formation of the hormone responsible for appetite. After morning oatmeal , the feeling of a full stomach and satiety can last up to several hours, saving you from harmful snacks and extra calories.
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition announced the results of tests, according to which the effectiveness of oatmeal is similar to drugs that reduce blood pressure. Therefore, at least hypertensive people should include oatmeal in their daily diet.
As you know, oatmeal is rich in fiber, both soluble and insoluble. The first form improves intestinal microflora, and the second improves its peristalsis.
It follows from the previous point that oatmeal , on the one hand, nourishes the body, and on the other, helps it get rid of waste. This is a unique product for detox: not only does it remove toxins, it also cleans the arteries from excess fat, that is, it protects against heart diseases.
As we already know, oatmeal helps with the formation of the satiety hormone: it not only controls appetite, but is also an antidepressant. Moreover, oatmeal eaten for dinner will solve problems with poor sleep. Vitamin B6 present in it stimulates melatonin (sleep hormone) and serotonin, its deficiency leads to insomnia.
It is unlikely that you will find another such product that can, like oatmeal , regulate the level of sugar and cholesterol in the blood. First, this culture has a low glycemic index, and secondly, soluble fiber has a positive effect on the sugar level of everyone who eats oatmeal systematically, not only those suffering from diabetes, and in addition actively lowers cholesterol.
In the off-season , oatmeal is a panacea for immunity: the same beta-glucan trains the body's natural defenses and its resistance to infections and viruses.
Scientists from Holland and Great Britain proved a direct connection between the consumption of food enriched with fiber and a reduction in the risk of developing cancer (10 g of fiber reduces the risk by 10%). At least reduce the fiber in oatmeal: a rich source of antioxidants protects the body from free radicals.
It is not for nothing that we have been fed oatmeal since childhood : it helps the brain and central nervous system to develop faster. Silicon present in it strengthens neurons, carbohydrates give the brain energy, and vitamin B1 activates blood supply to the brain, due to which memory and concentration improve
Nutritionists emphasize that you need to eat more fiber . And when it comes to food that contains a lot of dietary fiber , what comes to mind? Oatmeal is one of the main contenders, and it's always praised as a heart-healthy, fiber -rich breakfast. Both of these facts are true, and the benefits of oatmeal do not end there. But there are many other foods that actually contain more dietary fiber than porridge.
According to the American Heart Association, adults should consume 25 to 30 grams of fiber per day to support heart and body health, especially when it comes to lowering cholesterol. Adding a few foods rich in fiber to your diet will help you easily cope with this task.
Let's find out which foods we know contain more dietary fiber than half a cup of oatmeal, which contains 4 grams of fiber .

1 fruit contains 7 g of fiber .
Artichoke is a very healthy vegetable, which also contains a lot of dietary fiber , and is great as a snack.
If you are not ready to simply bake an artichoke and eat it whole, you can prepare a spinach and artichoke sauce, add the vegetable to a spicy quiche with feta and chicken, or prepare an artichoke cream soup with the addition of other vegetables.
0.5 cups of cooked lentils contains 8 g of fiber .
Another useful complex carbohydrate, rich in dietary fiber . Half a glass of the finished product provides from 27 to 35% of the daily recommended norm.

0.5 cups of boiled peas contains 8 g of fiber .

¼ cup contains 4.5 g of fiber .
Time to think about a healthy snack. Grab a ¼ cup of almonds for not only dietary fiber , but also plenty of vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that helps fight cell-damaging free radicals and stabilize cholesterol levels.
It is difficult to name a breakfast that is more useful than oatmeal . Whole grain saturates with fiber and protein, ensuring satiety throughout the morning. And this with only 150 kcal in half a glass of oatmeal . A 2016 study conducted by the Journal of the American College of Nutrition found that oatmeal provides a feeling of satiety and controls appetite much better than ready-to-eat breakfast cereals.
Nevertheless, in order not to get bored with oatmeal for breakfast, you need to think carefully about the additions to the porridge to get more benefit and taste. After all , oatmeal is just the perfect canvas for various flavor combinations. Supplement your morning oatmeal with the following ingredients to make your porridge even healthier.
Don't be afraid that high-calorie almonds will hinder your weight loss, because studies show that people who eat nuts regularly (in moderation, of course) have a lower body mass index. By the way, feel free to add a handful of chopped almonds to oatmeal . And in order to add more taste and benefit, take fresh or frozen blueberries (or blueberries). Some studies show that anthocyanins — flavonoids that give berries and fruits their dark, bright color — have many beneficial properties, including weight loss.
The aroma of pear and cinnamon gives a feeling of family comfort and warm evenings. In addition, half of a fiber-rich pear contains an average of 50 kcal, while cinnamon contains almost none, which makes this choice particularly successful. You can add a ripe soft pear to the finished porridge , and cut a harder one into pieces and bake in the oven, on its own, or immediately with oatmeal .
Banana and peanut butter is a classic combination, and for good reason. It is not only tasty, but also useful. 1 tbsp. peanut butter contains 4 grams of filling protein, and bananas add sweetness, so you don't need to use sugar or honey. Also add a spoonful of flax seeds for more fiber and heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
Want something more unusual? Season oatmeal with a rather unique combination of pumpkin puree, turmeric and pomegranate seeds. Pumpkin contains a lot of fiber, as well as such important trace elements as vitamin A, ascorbic acid and potassium. Meanwhile, the antioxidant properties of turmeric make it a useful addition to any dish. In addition, the spicy taste of the seasoning is well compensated by the soft, creamy taste of the pumpkin. And at the end, sprinkle the porridge with pomegranate seeds. By the way, ¼ cup of pomegranate contains only 36 kcal.
