Eating oats regularly can lower the "bad" LDL cholesterol, which is held responsible for cardio-vascular diseases. The so-called highly unsaturated fatty acids in oats, mainly represented by linolic acid, help to maintain a healthy level of the "good" HDL cholesterol which keeps LDL in check.
Oats are rich in fibre, protein, B-Vitamins and have high content of essential minerals, such as phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, iron and zink.
A breakfast with 40g oatflakes, 1 banana and 125 ml milk (alternatively rice, soya or goats milk if you are intolerant to dairy) supply a woman with one third of her daily requirements for fibres, a quarter of the required protein and 42 % of her daily need for magnesium and Vitamin B6.
