I am a great fan of oatmeal for breakfast – summer and winter. I prefer to buy premixed museli and cover it with water then microwave it for 2 minutes. Its an easy and fast way to ensure that I get a good breakfast and helps to lower my cholesterol [something my family has a problem with].
However, what I didn’t know until recently was that including a glass of orange juice with my oatmeal breakfast doubles the nutrition power. It seems there is a special synergy between the two foods, based around the phenols in oatmeal and the vitamin C in the juice working together to make LDL more stable. In its more stable form – LDL is less likely to stick to the walls of ateries.
LDL is the bad side of the cholesterol ratio – the one that increases the risk of arteries clogging and leading to cardiovascular disease and strokes.
My oatmeal is just been converted from a great food to a superfood.
