Health notes
When purchasing oats, look for organic, wheat-free varieties in health food aisles.
Oats contain beta-glucan, which lowers cholesterol and reduces cardiovascular disease risk.
Beta-glucan enhances the immune system's response to bacterial infection.
Soak oats in filtered water before use for better nutrient absorption and digestion.
Limit servings to 1/2 cup to avoid bloating, especially for those with IBS.
