Oats are naturally gluten free and have a great amount of
fiber which binds to cholesterol and helps remove it out of the body. Oats also
contain selenium, magnesium and zinc and are beneficial for digestion and
boosting your immune system. When
choosing oats, make sure they have no added sugar, flavourings or
preservatives. We will be sweetening our oatmeal with natural sweeteners such
as fruits and honey.
