What better way to gain the strength and energy to carry you through a hectic morning schedule than with a steaming cup of oatmeal, especially if you are trying to prevent or are currently dealing with heart disease or diabetes.Oats contain a specific type of fiber known as beta-glucan. Oats gain part of their distinctive flavor from the roasting process that they undergo after being harvested and cleaned. Although oats are then hulled, this process does not strip away their bran and germ allowing them to retain a concentrated source of their fiber and nutrients.Studies show that in individuals with high cholesterol, consuming just 3 grams of soluble oat fiber per day (an amount found in one mug of oatmeal) typically lowers total cholesterol by 8-23%. Lowering high cholesterol levels can therefore significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke.

Studies also show that beta-glucan has beneficial effects in diabetes as well.Type 2 diabetes patients given foods high inthis type of oat fiber or given oatmeal oroat-bran rich foods experienced much lowerrises in blood sugar compared to those whowere given white rice or bread. Starting outyour day with a blood sugar stabilizing foodsuch as oats may make it easier to keepblood sugar levels under control the rest ofthe day, especially when the rest of yourday is also supported with nourishing
fiber-rich foods.

In addition to its fiber benefits, oats are also a very good source of selenium.Selenium is involved in DNA repair and is associated with a reduced risk for cancer, especially colon cancer.

Likewise, studies have shown that psyllium husk is effective in lowering total cholesterol and LDL (the bad cholesterol)levels.And since psyllium husk is alsotype of fiber, it can alleviate constipation. In addition, recent studies also showed positive benefits that helps to, at the very least, minimize constipation and at best, if used daily, can help clean out the intestinal tract — provided the afflicted person is on a very high-fiber diet rich with daily intake of vegetables, fruits, and grains.
