Oats contain a powerful soluble fiber that may help reduce blood sugar levels and cholesterol levels. The fiber contents also allow for you to feel fuller longer. Oats in the morning can leave you feeling satiated and fueled for the rest of your day.

May Help Decrease the Chances of Diabetes

Oats Are Typically Gluten-Free

Gluten can be hard to digest. For the most part, natural oats are gluten free. If you have ever felt stomach discomfort such as bloating or uneasiness, it may be caused by gluten. Try switching your toast for some tasty oats!
