Oat Bran

$8.50 per kg

Description

Oat Bran is the outer area of the kernel. Oats, via their high fiber content, remove cholesterol levels from the digestive system, which leads to decreased amounts reaching the blood stream. They also have special antioxidant properties that reduce atherosclerotic plaque (and thereby reducing atherosclerosis). This is especially so when consumed with vitamin c. It is suggested to take a glass of orange juice with a bowl of oats, or, a bowl of your favourite breakfast cereal topped with a large spoonful of oat bran.

A steaming bowl of fresh oats is the perfect way to start your day especially if you are trying to prevent or are currently dealing with cholesterol levels, cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, poor immunity, and/or atherosclerosis. Oats, oat bran and oat meal contain a specific type of fibre known as beta-glucan, which helps lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease by 16-48%, and increase the immunity system.
