Why Eating Oats or Oatmeal in the Morning Is Good for Your Health

Eating oatmeal or porridge for breakfast often can help you stay healthy.

Oats are a grain rich in various nutrients, including protein, vitamins, essential amino acids, and beta-glucan. Recently, their potential as a disease treatment has also been attracting attention.

Oats contain beta-glucan, which slows aging, improves lung function, and has anti-cancer properties. Domestically produced oats, in particular, are particularly beneficial for health due to their high dietary fiber and beta-glucan content. At 20.7%, they contain dietary fiber and 4.1% beta-glucan, higher than other grains. Consuming oat-based foods like rice, cereals, porridge, and oatmeal maximizes their health benefits.

 

Domestically produced oats contain a compound called Avn-C, which helps prevent dementia and alleviate noise-induced hearing loss. Avn-C, which is found in 6-12 times more concentration than in imported processed oat products, is also effective in treating drug-induced hearing loss. Oat extracts utilizing this compound have the potential to be used as medications for the prevention and treatment of hearing loss.

 

Oats also help maintain muscle mass and reduce bad cholesterol (LDL). 100g of oatmeal contains 6.51g of protein and is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which are beneficial for preventing and managing hyperlipidemia. It's also rich in essential amino acids, vitamins B and E, iron, and magnesium. When mixing oats with rice, you can adjust the ratio to suit your individual taste, such as 20% or 30%.

 

When making oatmeal, it's best to wash the oats along with the rice, soak them for 30 minutes to an hour, and then add a little more water than usual. If mixing brown rice and oats, use the same amount of water as usual.

 

Oatmeal can be mixed with hot water or milk, and for a richer flavor, it can be lightly toasted over low heat. When purchasing processed oatmeal, it's important to carefully check the ingredient list for sugar and saturated fat. Adding other healthy ingredients, such as onions or mushrooms, can further enhance the flavor and nutrition.
