Every Scot knows or should know, the benefits of eating porridge for breakfast. But whether you live in Scotland or further afield eating a bowl of porridge will kick-start your day and keep you on the move until lunchtime and beyond.
Oats are a prime source of both soluble and insoluble fibre. The soluble fibre will become a viscous gel in your digestive system slowing down the passage of food through the gut, lowering your cholesterol and helping to stabilise your blood glucose levels. The insoluble fibres will help to provide a 'moving' experience by curtailing constipation and promoting intestinal health.
Oats are a good source of carbohydrate as their slow digestion means they won't have a detremental effect on your blood sugar levels.
