Ten Good Reasons You Might Want to Eat Oatmeal
Should You Be Eating More Oatmeal?
If You Want to Save Money and Time on Breakfast
In the long run oatmeal is cheaper then other breakfasts, even cereal. Plus I can make it a lot quicker than I could make bacon, sausage, eggs and toast. I think oatmeal is a great breakfast choice for anyone who has limited time in their mornings or wants to save money on their breakfasts.
If You Want to Lower Your Cholesterol
Thankfully I don't have to worry about lowering my cholesterol, but for anyone who does oatmeal can help with that.
If You Need to Manage Your Blood Pressure
Blood pressure is another thing that I am very grateful that I do not need to worry about, but if someone needs to manage their blood pressure they can help do that by eating oatmeal.
If You Need Healthier Arteries
Another thing that oatmeal helps with is how healthy your arteries are. I am glad that when I eat oatmeal I am promoting healthier arteries.
If You Want to Become More Regular
Their regularity isn't usually something that someone wants to discuss, but you can't blame anyone for wanting to be regular. By eating oatmeal you will be more regular than if you weren't eating oatmeal.
If You are Dieting
There are two reasons that when you are dieting that oatmeal is a good breakfast choice. It has fiber which is important when you are dieting and it is a very filling food, so you will full after eating it.
If You're Trying to Conceive
Eating oatmeal can actually help with your fertility. Your diet will affect your fertility and you should eat a minimum of six servings of whole-grain foods, such as oatmeal.
If You're Pregnant
Whole grains are important to eat when you are pregnant, that is why oatmeal is a great breakfast to eat when you are pregnant.
If You're Nursing
In addition to the nutrition that eating oatmeal will give you when you are nursing, oatmeal can also help with your milk supply.
It Taste Great, or At Least Has the Potential To
I think that oatmeal taste good, even better when I add other food items to it and who doesn't want to eat a breakfast that they enjoy the taste of.
I imagine that there are even more reasons to eat oatmeal, but for now I have enough to be eating it for breakfast for quite awhile.

Caption below picture on page 1 of this article. Where is the copy editor? "Cheaper then"? Um, no. It's "cheaper than". Those pesky vowels can bite you when you least expect it!
hmm and to think I eat oatmeal just because I like it
Wow, I didn't know any of this. Very informative and interesting. :)
Great reasons. I love oatmeal.
Spice up your oats by addinga diced jalepano pepper before cooking, or id your not that brave a splash of tabasco.
Add honey, fruit, and soy milk, and you've got yourself as healthy a breakfast any in the world.
Oatmeal has many great properties, but it doesn't work for everyone. If you're a fast metabolizer, it can put you into a state of hypoglycemia. You can read my article, submitted last week but not published yet, for more information.
Great article! I love the "it is a very filling food" comment... Lord knows I need to feel fuller more often! Thanks for the info.
I eat oatmeal every morning. Add some peanut butter to it with some milk, and I'm in heaven.
