PLUS, TODAY WE CELEBRATE: Oatmeal Day
Ancient Romans saw oats as an unfortunate and diseased wheat and used them as cheap horse food. They scoffed in disgust at societies who ate oats in their meals, such as the Germanic tribes who conquered the West Roman Empire as well as the Scottish whom the Romans were never able to conquer. Though oats are still used in horse food today, there is a portion set aside specifically for human consumption. And for good reason! The fiber within oats is more soluble than any other grain. Soluble fiber dissolves in water and turns into a thick, viscous gel, which moves slowly through the body. This means it keeps you full for long periods of time. Soluble fiber also slows down the body’s process of glucose absorption and inhibits re-absorption of bile into the system, meaning you avoid sugar highs and lows while your liver gets its needed cholesterol from your blood.
