Notes
When purchasing oats, look for organic, wheat-free varieties, which can be found in health food aisles
Oats contain beta-glucan fiber that lowers cholesterol and enhances immune response to bacterial infection
The antioxidant avenanthramides in oats help prevent free radical damage to LDL cholesterol, reducing cardiovascular disease risk
Soak oats in filtered water for at least a few hours prior to consuming or cooking for maximum nutrient absorption and digestion aid
Limit servings to 1/2 cup at a time to avoid bloating, especially for those with IBS
