The oatmeal breakfast; is oatmeal healthy or not?

Many people think that oatmeal is healthy for breakfast, but is that so? Oatmeal is full of dietary fiber and it is associated with various health effects such as lowering LDL Cholesterol and even fat loss. Yet oatmeal can be at least as bad as bread or a croissant. I figured out how you can take advantage of an oatmeal breakfast without the bad side effects and also share some delicious recipes with you.

But first ... oatmeal in a nutshell
To make a healthy choice and to understand why one is healthy and the other is not, it is good to know how oatmeal is produced. Because 'oatmeal' comes from the cereal 'oats'. Oatmeal is the germinated (shell removes) version of oats and if only the shell is removed you speak of 'long-boiling' or 'whole grain' oatmeal. You don't usually find this type of oatmeal at the supermarket, but at a health food store.

In addition, you also have the cut oatmeal, which is broken or cut into two parts. The advantage of this is that the cooking time is drastically reduced from 15 minutes to 5 minutes. In both this version and the 'whole' version, most nutrients and dietary fiber have been preserved. They are healthy for both of these oatmeal varieties.

The latest version is the rolled oatmeal. And how could it be otherwise ... you can usually find it in the supermarket. The rolled oats are flat and sometimes this oats are sweetened and processed. You often see this when the oatmeal is already mixed with other ingredients. Therefore, with this form you only benefit for a small part from the beneficial efficacy of these grains. In fact, this variant causes peaks in blood sugar levels which you naturally prefer not to have (more about those peaks later).


So ... is oatmeal healthy?
The answer to that question depends on the preparation and the type of oatmeal you choose. If you eat ready-made oatmeal that is sweetened with sugar, it is by definition not healthy. Usually, the ready-made oatmeal contains only half of the original fiber contained in oats and a lot of junk is added to make it 'tasty'. In some ready-made oatmeal there is even more than 10% pure sugar. So when you ask "is ready-made oatmeal healthy?" the answer is "No!".

But fortunately there is also good news! Pure oatmeal is healthy. By 'pure' I mean unprocessed oatmeal or at most 'cut'. You recognize the whole grain oatmeal by the full, round structure and it is packed with valuable food for your body. The taste of whole-grain oatmeal has a slightly more 'nutty' taste than processed oatmeal.

Also advantageous for people with a gluten allergy is that oats naturally do not contain gluten. However, the oats are often treated in an environment where products are processed with gluten, so if it cannot contain any traces of gluten, you should also look for real gluten-free varieties.

The big disadvantage of whole grain oatmeal is that you have to boil it for about 15 minutes to make it soft and edible. On the other hand, you get a lot in return and it also tastes better. I will list the benefits of oatmeal for you.

The benefits of oatmeal
Reduces LDL Cholesterol by 7%
Reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease
It helps your body to regulate your sugar levels
Whole grain oatmeal contains many dietary fiber
You will be full longer (that's why an oatmeal breakfast is so popular)
It is full of vitamins and minerals
Oatmeal also contains many antioxidants
It is also a source of protein
It naturally contains no gluten
The difference between wholegrain oatmeal and ready-made oatmeal is particularly reflected in the 'GI index'. Without becoming too technical ... The GI index indicates what nutrition does to your blood sugar. The higher the GI index is, the less healthy it is for our bodies. We speak of a high glycemic index above 70 and a low below 55. Ready-made oatmeal has a GI index of 83, while whole-grain oatmeal has a GI index of 55. See how much difference it makes ?

Oatmeal for breakfast
As you can read above, an oatmeal breakfast can be a fantastic addition to your diet. In particular, the dietary fiber and the proteins ensure that you are full for longer than when, for example, you eat bread or a cracker.

An oatmeal breakfast is usually combined with milk or yogurt, but can also be combined with water or, for example, almond milk.

A whole-grain oatmeal breakfast is therefore healthy and even recommended if you want to lose weight. Losing weight with oatmeal is something you often encounter on the internet. You can of course come up with (and find) very exciting explanations, but basically it simply means that you have less appetite and therefore eat less. The amount of dietary fiber also plays an important role.

Prepare oatmeal:
Oatmeal is fairly easy to prepare. May I assume that you are convinced by my article and choose the whole-grain oatmeal? 🙂Beautiful! A basic oatmeal is easy to prepare. You can boil it with water, milk or something like almond milk.

Bring the liquid to the boil and add the oatmeal. Let it boil for 15 minutes and remove it from the heat. Let it cool down and you're done. Now we can add some things for the taste, as I show below with the recipes.

What is also recommended is to bring water to the boil and let the oatmeal boil for 1 to 2 minutes. Then turn off the heat and leave the oatmeal covered for a night. The next morning you will have wonderfully soft oatmeal!

Oatmeal recipe 1:
Breakfast for 1 or 2 people:

100ml water
100ml almond milk (or whole milk)
50 grams whole wheat oatmeal
1 large banana (crushed)
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 pinch of salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Oatmeal recipe 2:
100ml water
100ml almond milk (or whole milk)
50 grams whole wheat oatmeal
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Oatmeal topping:

Hand of blueberries
A few raspberries

Oatmeal recipe 3
Oatmeal cakeOatmeal cake
For a variation on the oatmeal breakfast, I also have a recipe for an oatmeal cake . Easy to take to work as a lunch or snack.

There are dozens of recipes on the internet to make a delicious oatmeal breakfast. And also nice books all about oatmeal. That is also one of the benefits. You can vary endlessly with ingredients and put something new on the table every morning.

The conclusion
If you choose the right type of oatmeal, oatmeal can be healthy for you and boost your health. I can therefore recommend an oatmeal breakfast to anyone who wants to have a healthy breakfast or to lose weight. Because some people jump directly to the conclusion, I would like to emphasize that the 'supermarket' oatmeal is not always healthy! Go to a health food store for 'whole' or 'half' oatmeal.

Authentic Mexican Guacamole

When it comes to máking Guácámole from scrátch, I’ve become á bit of án expert. álthough I live in Cáliforniá, I’m blessed to spend ábout three months á yeár in Puerto Vállártá, Mexico.

The ávocádos you use for this recipe should be perfectly ripe. Here’s how to select the perfect ávocádo for guácámole: When á Háás ávocádo is under-ripe it is green in color ánd very firm. á neárly ripe ávocádo is green-purple ánd slightly firm. á perfectly ripe ávocádo – the kind you wánt for this recipe – is purple-bláck in color ánd yields to gentle pressure. án over-ripe ávocádo is bláck ánd mushy.

INGREDIENTS

• 3 Háás ávocádos
• 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
• 1/4 cup Romá tomátoes, finely diced
• 1/4 cup cilántro leáves, chopped (no stems)
• 1 Jálápeno or Serráno chile (ábout 1 táblespoon), finely diced
