Evidence-Based Health Benefits of Eating Oats and Oatmeal

Oatmeal may help you lose weight

In a study, oats and oatmeal improved appetite control over four hours compared to ready-to-eat breakfast cereal. Initial viscosity of oatmeal may be especially important for reducing appetite.

 

Finely ground oats may help with skin care

It’s no coincidence that oats can be found in numerous skin care products. Makers of these products often list finely ground oats as ‘colloidal oatmeal’. Also, the FDA approved colloidal oatmeal as a skin-protective substance back in 2003. But oats have a long history of use in treatment of itch and irritation in various skin conditions.

Colloidal oatmeal suspensions are currently available in shampoos, moisturizing creams, bath soaps, shaving gels, and many studies have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of colloidal oatmeal for the treatment of inflammatory skin conditions.

 

Oats may help relieve constipation

Use of oat-fiber allowed discontinuation of laxatives by 59% while improving body-weight and wellbeing of the seniors. Fiber supplementation is a safe and convenient alternative to laxatives in a geriatric hospital, that’s why you should eat oats when you’re dealing with constipation.
