Healthy Oatmeal Recipes by Homemakers

how to make oatmeal delicious

Looking for ways as to how to cook oatmeal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner?

Oatmeal is everywhere these days in my recipes. I am glad an increasing number of people are now trying oatmeal recipes to improve their health quotient. Why not? oatmeal is such a healthy cereal grain to become part of your everyday diet. If you have been wondering how to improve your fiber intake, oatmeal can come in handy.

• The fiber-rich oatmeal contain a special type of fiber, known as beta-glucan, which helps lower bad cholesterol levels in the body. As a result, oats are linked to heart health. Foods rich in soluble fiber, such as oat flour and oat bran, are believed to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. 

• Additionally, fiber-rich foods are great for digestion, since they create a feeling of fullness and satiety. This means you are not going to feel hungry any time soon after enjoying a meal with oatmeal and other fiber-rich foods. No wonder these foods also aid in constipation and boost metabolism. 

Do you know most of the lifestyle disorders prevalent these days are due to metabolism problems?

• According to a research report published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition,  a diet rich in whole-grains is as effective as any antidepressant or blood pressure lowering medication.
• Oats are packed with minerals, including phosphorus, selenium, manganese, phosphorus, zinc, and magnesium. This means they boost overall health.
• Other oat benefits accrue from their flavonoid, polyphenol, carotenoids, and tocol content.

So how much fiber should you include in your everyday diet?

The recommended daily intake of fiber is somewhere around 38 g and 25 g for men and women, respectively. Are you taking this much of fiber? If not, it's time to recreate your meal plans.

So now you must be wondering how to include oatmeal in diet? Worry not! I have selected a few innovative oatmeal recipes for you all. These healthy recipes come from my friends, who are members of my Facebook food group - Healthy Recipes by Homemakers.

You are going to be left awe-struck seeing the innovative minds at work. Amazingly talented are these ladies.
