Has your doctor told you that your cholesterol is too high? Try consuming one and a half cups of oatmeal daily as it can reduce cholesterol levels by 5 to 8%. Oatmeal has a low glycemic index as well. Additionally, the soluble fiber in oatmeal assists in slowing down glucose absorption, which is beneficial for people with diabetes and anyone who wants to minimize blood sugar increases. But, the reduced GI only applies to unsweetened oats, not the delicious, processed, flavored instant oatmeal.
