We live in an instant world and none more so than the porridge market – just add boiling water, stir and your oats are ready to eat!
Research has revealed that eating porridge, brown rice or corn each day can help protect the heart against disease. Whole grains are already widely believed to be beneficial for health and studies have shown that those who eat the most whole grains seem to have better protection. It’s also a fact that youngsters who eat oats are 50% less likely to be overweight.
Everyone can enjoy porridge for their breakfast. While some culinary experts claim that the best way to cook it is very slowly, not all of us have the luxury of time and need a quick and easy meal.
Regardless of the type, shape or size, all porridge oats (instant and otherwise) are wholegrains and they all contain a soluble fibre called beta-glucan. This fabulous fibre has been found to lower cholesterol which helps towards to heart health. Coronary heart disease is Britain’s biggest killer.
