As a child I didn't like oatmeal, I hated it. My grandma would prepare oatmeal almost every morning.
Surprisingly, now as an adult, I am addicted to it for a very simple reason. I learned recently that some of my friends, people my age, are being treated for heart related issues. In fact, two close friends recently had open heart surgery due to clogged arteries.
A while back my doctor prescribed meds to improve my cholesterol levels. I decided it was the perfect time to change my diet. It was kind of a wake-up call for me to learn about my friend's health issues, so I decided to make serious changes on my eating habits.
Since I began including oatmeal to my new diet a month ago, I feel a lot better. Not interested in losing weight, but lower my blood sugar levels, and reduce the risk of heart disease.
