If you are pregnant oats are ideal for when you are craving as satisfying treat as they are one of the most nutritious cereals in the world. In addition, oatmeal is an excellent source of minerals like manganese, selenium, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc and vitamins like B1, and vitamin E (antioxidant).

Oats provide a generous amount of protein and fibre. Studies have shown that its soluble fibre reduces cholesterol and strengthens the immune system reaction against bacterial infections. It also stabilizes the levels of blood sugar. The high glucose level in oats provides a huge amount of energy and it is recommended for those with lung, intestines and liver problems.
