Description
Oats are a superfood packed with nutrients. They're a complete grain, composed of complex carbohydrates, protein, vitamins, minerals, and fiber, which helps regulate the intestines.
Low glycemic index
Starting with complex carbohydrates, with a low glycemic index, which are an added value, as they provide energy gradually over time, avoiding spikes and sudden fluctuations in blood sugar levels that can trigger hunger pangs.
This makes oats an ideal option for a pre-workout meal or even as a mid-day meal.
High protein content
In addition to this type of carbohydrate, it also provides 13% of protein, which is higher than most other grains. That's why it's a popular choice for exercise enthusiasts.
High fiber content
It also contains a high fiber content, helping to regulate intestinal transit. It also helps lower cholesterol levels, as beta-glucans prevent its reabsorption in the intestine (by consuming 3g of beta-d-glucan daily, the equivalent of consuming 40g of oat bran or 60g of oat flour), while also helping to reduce blood pressure.
Source of vitamins and minerals
It is also a very interesting source of vitamins (B complex and vitamin E, in particular) and minerals (iron, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium and zinc), and is therefore recommended in cases of anemia, weakness and chronic fatigue.
