10 Health Benefits Of Oatmeal
Health Benefit Of Oatmeal #3: Lower Cholesterol
It has long been known that cholesterol is a leading cause of heart disease. More recently we have learned that there are ‘good’ and ‘bad’ cholesterols. Low-density lipoproteins, or LDL cholesterol, is the ‘bad’ variety that could cause serious health complications if there is too much of it in the bloodstream.
The good news is that studies have shown that oats are able to help reduce LDL cholesterol levels in the body. This is thanks to beta-glucan fiber which increases how much cholesterol-rich bile is excreted. This will help reduce the levels of LDL cholesterol that is flowing through the blood.
