Oatmeal 燕麦

There's an array of costly grains with super-food status in today's markets, but there's one inexpensive health hero you most likely already have in your cupboard -- oatmeal. Simple rolled oats are packed with essential minerals like immune-boosting zinc, magnesium and iron as well as chock-full of protective antioxidants called flavanoids that have been shown to reduce disease-causing inflammation in the body.But their real star power comes from their fiber. Oats are one of the top sources of soluble-fiber, the kind that can help sweep cholesterol out of the body and help keep blood sugar from rising too quickly.

现在市场里有很多打着超级食物形象的昂贵谷物，但是有一种实惠的健康英雄，你很可能已经把它放进了你的橱子——燕麦。简单碾制的燕麦含有许多必备的矿物质，比如提高免疫力的锌、镁和铁，还有一堆有叫类黄酮的有保护作用的抗氧化物，它可以减少身体里的致病物质。但是燕麦最出众的地方在于它的纤维素。燕麦是可溶解纤维的最大来源之一，这种纤维素可以帮助清除我们身体里的胆固醇、防止血糖过高。
