Oats or an oatmeal has been a trusted companion for weight loss, since long. Oats are grains from the cereal plant, Avena Sativa. Once harvested, these grains are either used as animal feed, skin products or food. Health experts and nutritionists across the world often rank a bowl of oatmeal as one of the best breakfast options for optimal weight loss and health. But does it work as well in the form of dinner too? Let's find out.
There is a common saying that goes, 'Don't eat less for dinner, eat better for dinner'. Oats make for a great option for their high water, fibre and low-fat content. Whole grain oats reduce risks of constipation and heart disease too.
According to Dr. Rupali Dutta, "One can have oats at any point and time of the day. In fact, it is one of the healthiest foods one can have. It provides you with healthy fibers. It is very good for heart health. There is no risk involved with eating oats, unless the person is dealing with glutamine intolerance. Oats produced and manufactured in factories undergo many levels of processing. Even the labels stating gluten-free are not always so. So a gluten-intolerant person really needs to be careful with the wheat composition."
Shilpa says, "Oats are a very healthy option for dinner, they are rich in fibre and water keeping you full, which helps avoid hunger pangs at night. Oats for dinner also give you a restful sleep. They help release seratonin hormone that helps reduce stress. This neurotransmitter helps to elevate mood in the evening and calms the body."
