Oats digest very slowly, this will keep you full, for longer. Along with this, our blood sugar levels won't act as sporadically. They'll rise and lower at a slower rate. This regulation will help in feeling better as well as helping prevent our bodies diabetes like symptoms.

Fiber is a fairly deficient piece of our nutrition puzzle (for the average male). Oats are a great way to ensure that we get the proper amount, thus helping transport of other nutrients as well. This will also help bowel movements. Everyone likes a good bowel movement.
