Oats are good for your body in many ways. They help stabilize blood sugar and lower cholesterol, and they are high in protein and fiber. Oats are available in many forms, including instant, steel-cut, rolled, bran, groats, flakes, and flour. The best options are the less refined ones like steel-cut, rolled, flakes, and bran. Oat flour is an excellent substitute for wheat flour in baking recipes. A good source of minerals like manganese, selenium, magnesium, and the sleep aid tryptophan, oats have been shown in many studies to also assist with lowering cholesterol and reducing the risk of heart disease. Although oats are naturally gluten-free, be sure to choose certified gluten-free oats if you are sensitive to gluten.
