oats:

• Contain more soluble fibre than any other grain including beta-glucans- a type of fibre that has proven to lower cholesterol and therefore help reduce the risk of heart disease
• The soluble fibre and protein content of oats slows down digestion and gives and extend the feeling of fullness
• Can help reduce blood sugar and insulin levels so can help control diabetes
• Contain iron, manganese, zinc, vitamin E, folate, B vitamins, phosphorous and selenium
• Contain anti-oxidants such as avenanthramides, phenolic acids and phytic acids
