Health to the Heart - Oats

Wake up to oats is the call to Australians.
Heart health is in your hands. Australia's number one killer is heart disease. Each year, 55,000 people die from it - more than the combined number of deaths caused by cancer, AIDS and road accidents- and 2.3 million Australians live with it. Don't become a statistic!

Oats the wonder grain is an essential part of a balanced, heart-healthy diet, according to world research, which now recognises their role in helping prevent heart disease.

Breakfasts is the most important meal of the day and oats are the perfect menu choice, especially during winter when a steaming bowl of porridge will banish those early morning chills. Oats have one of the highest levels of water-soluble fibre called beta-glucan. This fibre binds to fats, including cholesterol, in the digestive system, reducing their uptake into the body. The beta-glucan is then excreted, carrying cholesterol with it and so reducing blood cholesterol, one of the major risk factors of heart disease. To obtain the recommended daily intake of beta-glucan you need to eat just 2/3 cup of rolled oats. While you are taking care of your heart, your overall wellbeing also will benefit from the eight vitamins and numerous minerals in oats.
