Oats, like any other varieties of grains, belong to the Graminae family (grasses)’s called ‘Jai’ in Hindi. They are derived from natural whole grain.
- Oats are excellent source of soluble dietary fibre. They are derived from natural whole grain. Oats’quality is enhanced further, by mixing it with Oat Bran.This fibre helps lower blood LDL cholesterol, the so-called “Bad” cholesterol. Oat bran is the outer casing of the oat. Its consumption is believed to lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, and possibly to reduce the risk of heart disease.
- Oats absorb the extra fat & flush it out of the system. Soluble fibre in white oats can help in weight control as it can replace high fat and calories in food and can lead to reduction in total calorie intake.
- A diet which is rich in oats may also help stabilize blood glucose levels, which could help people with non-insulin dependent diabetes.Soluble fibre like the type present in hi-fibre white oats are beneficial.Eating any normal diet controlling carbohydrate, can lead to a rise in blood sugar level in diabetics, whereas food rich in dietary fibre produces an opposite effect i.e. lowers the blood sugar level and thus, reduces the need of insulin to stabilize the blood sugar level.

Hi Binu,
Triglycerides increase mainly due to eating too much of carbs and fat. Prawns and eggs may add to the fat content. You can refer to the list mentioned to bring your triglycerides down. For further help, please email me at sanjana@nutrihealth.in
Hi Kranthi,
I suggest you check the intake of sugar and fat in your toddlers diet, just adding white oats is not going to make her lose weight. Increase her physical activity, it really helps.
