Oatmeal for lower blood pressure?

Oatmeal makes a comeback

Oatmeal used to be a standard breakfast dish back in the ‘good ol’ days’ but has now been largely replaced by sugary cereals. From a health perspective this has been a big mistake. A bowl of oatmeal every morning is a great way to start the day. And it’s especially helpful in restoring balance to your cardiovascular system. All in all, you’ll be getting off to a good start by eating oatmeal for lower blood pressure.

Of course there are other ways to eat oatmeal than porridge. You can add oats to your cooking – bread, meatloaf, desserts – use your imagination.

Mind you, oats never had a reputation of fine dining.

In 1755 Samuel Johnson described oats as “A grain which, in England, is generally given to horses, but which in Scotland supports the people”.

The Scot’s reply? “That’s why England has such good horses and Scotland has such fine men!”

Oatmeal gets FDA approval

In 1996 oatmeal was the first food that was granted by the FDA the right to make a specific health claim. The US Food and Drug Administration approved the health claim “Diets low in saturated fats and cholesterol that provide 3g or more per day in soluble fibre from oat bran, oatmeal, or whole oat flour may reduce the risk of heart disease.”

Overall, this wonder food reduces cholesterol, lowers blood pressure, and reduces the risk of heart problems. Study after study has shown that, among other things, eating oatmeal for lower blood pressure is a good idea.

Oatmeal for lower blood pressure: how it works

Eating oatmeal for lower blood pressure works, but hwo? Well, there are a number of things in oats that contribute to your cardiovascular health but it is thought that the water soluble fibre beta-gluten provides the most benefits. This gel slows down the rate of digestion of other foods and helps keep your blood sugars down as well as keeping your insulin levels normal – resulting in lower blood pressure.

Eating oats also lowers cholesterol. In one test called The Smart Heart Challenge hundreds of people ate one bowl of oatmeal a day and after a month 70% of the volunteers had lower cholesterol levels. The Journal of American Medical Association reported that the fibre beta-gluten found in oats is as effective in reducing cholesterol as statin drug treatment.
