Why Oats Are Great for Gut Health
Did you know why oats are such a fantastic food for gut health. Oats are packed with two types of fiber: soluble and insoluble.
The soluble fiber in oats, known as beta-glucan, helps to slow digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels, feeding your gut’s beneficial bacteria.
The insoluble fiber aids digestion by increasing the bulk of your stool, promoting regular bowel movements. This helps detoxify your body and maintain a healthy gut environment.
Oats also contain antioxidants that can reduce inflammation in your body and keep your skin looking radiant. They’re gluten-free, making them a great option for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities. If you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivities, make sure to choose oats labeled 'gluten-free' to avoid potential contamination from gluten-containing grains processed in the same facility.
Speaking of gluten-free, R's KOSO is also gluten-free, making it a perfect addition to your gut-friendly recipes!
Not only do oats support your digestive system, but they also contribute to your overall well-being.
