January is oatmeal month. So it's time to celebrate the humble oat!
We love oatmeal for a variety of reasons.
Oats are healthy grains and are a popular breakfast food, as they keep you fuller for longer.
According to the wholegrain council, oats have the following benefits:

- It has Beta-glucan, a soluble fiber which has been proven to suppress appetite and help promote gut health.
- Oats also have compounds called polyphenols which have strong antioxidant, anti-itching, and anti-inflammatory properties, potentially reducing the effects of chronic inflammation.
Now that you know all these great benefits of oats, let’s look at how you can enjoy eating them.
The good thing about oatmeal is that it can be cooked in water or milk and still be delicious. However, if you enjoy having a variety of flavours, you can add several things to make it taste even more delicious.
