Notes:
– Oats contain many essential vitamins and minerals, including manganese, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, iron, zinc, folate, vitamin B1 (thiamin), and vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid).
– The soluble fiber in oats, known as beta-glucan, helps to reduce cholesterol levels by forming a gel-like substance that prevents its absorption. Insoluble fiber aids digestion and promotes bowel regularity.
