Oats are a whole-grain that check off quite a few boxes in terms of being heart-healthy.

• They help lower cholesterol.
  • One serving of oats provides 2 grams of soluble fiber, which aids in lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol. 
• They keep you energized all morning.
  • Whole-grain oats are a complex carbohydrate, meaning they break down to become energy that’s slowly absorbed by your body.
• There’s protein too!
  • One serving of oats provides 5 grams of protein to start your day.
