Oats have long been a popular breakfast food. One of the reasons individuals like them is because they contain a substantial amount of protein and fiber, two things that can keep individuals full until lunchtime. A 3.5-ounce dry serving of oats contains about seventeen grams of protein. Oats are also low in fat and have virtually no sugar. They are among the most protein-rich grains, which make them a better choice than toast or an English muffin. They are also gluten-free, which make them a great choice for individuals who have celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity. In addition, oatmeal is full of vitamins and minerals, including manganese, iron, copper, zinc, and many others. It also contains several antioxidants and is the only dietary source of a type of antioxidant called avenathramides. These antioxidants can improve blood pressure by lowering inflammation levels in the body.
