Do You Want A Healthy Heart?

Well... Did you know that oats are key to having a healthy heart?
It is said that if you have a daily heaping of fibre that is found in oats, particularly our porridge oats... it can help to prevent diabetes and also cut down your cholesterol and blood pressure levels.

Kick start the day with a pot of fibre!

Today, new studies reveal that eating a bowl of breakfast cereal daily can increase a heart attack survivors' chances of living longer! 

Researchers found that diets with a fibre increase - especially cereals - was the link with lower death rates, and those who ate the most fibre had a 25% lower chance of dying in the nine years after their heart attack, compared to those who ate the least.

But remember this isn't the only benefit of fibre, as is also helps reduce blood cholesterol, improve glucose levels and lower blood pressure, just to name a few. 

A fibre based breakfast really is a great way to kick start the day... take our Porridge for instance, it's quick and easy to make, extremely tasty and packed full of fibre!
