According to research published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, eating oats with milk is good for people with type 2 diabetes.
Oats soaked overnight in skim milk maintain a low glycemic index and have a positive effect on insulin levels.
Here are some other benefits of eating oats with milk.
1. Enhance nutrition
According to the United States Department of Agriculture, 100 grams of oats have 13.15 grams of protein. Mixing milk with oats helps increase the protein content of the meal.
Nutritionist Pooja Kedia says that oats combined with milk are beneficial for muscle recovery and growth, especially for those who are involved in physical activities. Milk is rich in calcium, which is essential for bone health, so combining milk with oats can help ensure adequate calcium intake.
2. Better nutrient absorption
Combining whole or full-fat milk with oats can help absorb fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K).
3. Maintain energy
The combination of carbohydrates from oats and protein and fat from milk provides a balanced meal that helps sustain energy throughout the morning. This balance helps you feel less hungry and prevents energy crashes.
