Eat Oatmeal For Lowering Your Bad Cholesterol Level

The United States FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved the health benefit claims of oatmeal back in 1997. In 2008 Dr. James W. Anderson, professor of medicine and clinical nutrition at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine, published an analytical report to find if there is any new information which would go against the health benefit claims approved by US FDA 10 years back. He and his research review partner Mark Andon, who was a researcher and nutrition director for Quaker-Tropicana did not find any research which would prove the health benefit claims of oatmeal to be wrong. In fact, they found even stronger research results in favor of oatmeal.

They published their report in the January/February 2008 issue of the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine. The report was titled as "The Oatmeal-Cholesterol Connection: 10 Years Later". Their report was based on the studies conducted during the past 15 years. According to their report all the research results without exception showed that:

Oat consumption lowers total cholesterol levels
Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) the "bad" cholesterol is reduced without adverse effects on High-Density Lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) the "good" cholesterol

Anderson also said;

Since the 80's, oatmeal has been scientifically recognized for its heart health benefits, and the latest research shows this evidence endures the test of time and should be embraced as a lifestyle option for the millions of Americans at-risk for heart disease

But is it only for the Americans? Not at all. It is not only the Americans who will be benefited by eating oatmeal but also each and every person living on this earth.

You should get many oatmeal products in your local grocery shops. If not found in grocery shops then you can buy them from a supermarket. These products are not costly and should be within your budget.

So why not make a little change in your eating habit? Try to eat oatmeal daily. Take your first step to fight cholesterol and over time you will be gainer.
