7. Helpful in Weight Loss:
Oats are rich in fibre that fills up the tummy quicker than non-fibre breakfasts. They also lead to a slow release of glucose in the blood and this keeps one satiated for a long time and prevents binge-eating.
People who eat oats regularly tend to have a stable weight and are less vulnerable to obesity. Oats also fight off abdominal fat.
However, choose plain oats rather than the pre-packaged flavoured ones as they are full of sugar that can hamper weight loss plans.
8. Good for the Skin:
Oats are rich in zinc that is important for fighting off pimples.
Oats help to absorb the excess oil on the skin and are an essential part of acne treatments. They also help to treat dry and itchy skin as the beta-glucans help to moisturise the skin.
Oats also work as an efficient anti-tanning agent and help lighten the skin tone.
