Nutritional information
Oats are mainly composed of carbohydrates, so they are an excellent source of energy for our body. However, they also contain a small amount of protein, as well as good fats. They are also rich in fiber. Numerous studies have shown that the inclusion of fiber in the diet has multiple benefits for our health.
Quaker contains large amounts of B vitamins, which are very important for our health. Oatmeal contains vitamin B6, riboflavin, thiamine, as well as calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc. It also contains smaller amounts of vitamin E, folic acid and potassium.

Oatmeal and health benefits

1. Cholesterol.
Cholesterol is responsible for a number of cardiovascular diseases and is one of the biggest enemies of our heart. The soluble fiber that oatmeal contains in abundance has the ability to bind and remove bad cholesterol, without lowering the levels of good cholesterol.

2. Cancer.
Oatmeal, like other grains and vegetables, contains a variety of phytochemicals. Many phytochemicals are known to help reduce the risk of cancer. Also, high fiber consumption has been directly linked to a reduced risk of cancers related to hormonal disorders, such as breast, ovarian, uterine, and prostate cancer in men.

3. Sugar.
Consuming Quaker helps in a slow and gradual increase in blood sugar levels. This control of blood sugar and insulin levels prevents many complications associated with diabetes. Also, with the slow increase in blood sugar levels, our appetite is controlled, as our energy levels remain stable and we are not hungry often. Thus, we can control our weight more easily.

4. Digestive system.
The high fiber content of oats helps with proper bowel function and combats constipation.

5. Blood pressure.
Scientific research has shown that daily consumption of a serving of Quaker helps fight hypertension and effectively reduces blood pressure.
