Oats Fiber Flour - Classic Flour No More!

If you are wondering what the oat fiber flour may be, it is essentially a ground meal that is produced from oats. Not only does it contain high levels of nutritional value such as the protein, mineral and fiber content, oat flour also has a natural sweet taste and a light texture that contributes to the flavour of your baked good. It is also an excellent substitute for celiac individuals or those who are gluten intolerant!

What’s the benefit in adopting Oat Fiber Flour?

Reduces risk of developing heart diseases

Oats contain a relatively high antioxidant count, especially with a type of unique antioxidant called AVAs (avenanthramides) that performs 10-30 times more powerful than other antioxidants. This equips oat with properties that enable them to protect the human body from heart disease, colorectal cancer and inflammation, further improving the condition of the heart.

Furthermore, oats have a rich source of dietary fiber found in them. This is essential as dietary fiber aids in significantly reducing the risk of developing heart diseases through a multifaceted mechanism that lowers one’s cholesterol and inflammation simultaneously. In the process, the insulin resistance improves as well.

Helps diabetic persons

5% of the total fiber found in oat flour belongs to a type of fiber called beta glucans, which has been clinically proven to serve as a treatment towards diabetes. Diabetes refers to a condition where the human body’s unable to regulate the blood sugar level due to several factors. Hence, beta glucans assist in lowering both the blood sugar levels and insulin levels, effectively managing the type 2 diabetes. In addition, beta glucan is also able to minimise insulin resistance and improve the insulin sensitivity, further allowing the body to fight against the damage of its organs and body system.

Lowers Bad Cholesterol Level

Heart diseases and diabetes has been linked to the high levels of cholesterol in one’s body, which is significantly contributed by obesity and unhealthy weight gain. Often, those that suffer from these conditions have high LDL Cholesterol levels which are “bad cholesterol” that needs to be removed from the body, but ends up building and clogging up in the arteries of the heart. With that, the beta glucan found in oats has been proven to have a posititve effect on blood serum levels of LDL Cholesterol, assisting in clearing up the blood vessel passage, reducing the risk of obesity and cardiovascular diseases.

Decreases blood pressure

People that have high blood pressure experiences various negative symptoms such as shortness of breath, anxiety and health disorders such as heart attack and many more. Hence, beta glucan found in oats has been clinically proven to have delivered a significant reduction in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

Satiety Star

Oat also possesses several properties that make it an effective tool for weight management as well as a slow-burning superfood that can provide one with long-lasting energy throughout the day. Excessive calorie consumption is a contributing factor towards excessive weight gain. Hence, oats has actually been found to have a profound effect on the satiety mechanism in the body, or the process that creates the sensation of “fullness” after a meal.
