Featured Tip

Oatmeal

Diet and Nutrition
"More than 40 scientific studies show that eating oatmeal can help lower blood cholesterol levels.
Benefits are greatest for those who have high cholesterol levels.
Experts believe it's the soluble fiber found in oats that helps reduce blood cholesterol levels.

How?
Oat soluble fiber (beta glucan) helps control blood cholesterol by binding some of the cholesterol in your digestive tract. This cholesterol is "trapped" and removed from your body naturally.

Think of each rolled oat as a tiny sponge that soaks up cholesterol in your digestive tract.

Many people will experience a reduction in blood cholesterol if they eat 1-1/2 cups of cooked oatmeal (about 3/4 cup uncooked) providing 3 grams of oat soluble fiber (beta glucan) every day."
