When we were young, our parents or grandparents used to feed us with oatmeal, which filled us with energy from the very first hours of the morning.

But what makes oats so special? Why do we feel energized after eating them?

Well, oats are a long-term energy supplier that does not strain your digestive system.

They are also rich in vegetable proteins and soluble fibers, which absorb water and help form a gel in the stomach. This process helps you feel full for longer while helping to lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels.

Anthropologists discovered ancient writings that tell all about how the Dacians and Germans used this cereal as a staple food. Later on, in the Middle Ages, the Nordic populations of Europe have also started consuming oats, which they soon found to be an excellent source of energy, particularly great during the cold and humid weather.

But oats are so much more than that.

Oats are excellent stimulants of the thyroid function. So patients suffering from this condition should introduce this food into their diet and consume it over a long period.

This tea is also recommended for those experiencing asthenia, fatigue, drowsiness, and influenza, as well as for those suffering from kidney stones.

Remedy for Osteoporosis

If you suffer from this disease, then you should regularly consume oats, alongside beans, peas, and broccoli. That’s because they are loaded with estrogens – which help stimulate the activity of osteoblasts, which are cells that produce bones.

Also, eliminate from your diet all the foods and drinks which drain the calcium out of your bones like coffee and animal fats.
