Oatmeal is made of ground oats that can be made into a variety of foods , including porridges, cookies, and snacks. It is also used in some cosmetics and creams. Recent studies also have shown that oatmeal has some heart healthy benefits. This is mainly due to the rich source of water-soluble dietary fibers, particularly beta glucan, that are found in oatmeal.

Over the years, there have been many research studies that have proven the benefits of oatmeal in lowering cholesterol levels. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is convinced, too: Oatmeal was one of the first foods to carry the heart healthy distinction on its label because of promising research findings.


How Does Oatmeal Help Lower Cholesterol?
It is thought that the oat fibers in oatmeal mix with cholesterol in the small intestine, then bind to the cholesterol molecules and carry it out of the body -- instead of it being absorbed into the blood.

Oatmeal seems to be most effective in lowering LDL cholesterol (“bad” cholesterol) levels. According to the studies in adults, LDL cholesterol may be lowered by 10 percent in some cases. In these studies, anywhere between 40 and 60 grams -- or roughly one bowl -- of oatmeal was consumed by each subject per day. The cholesterol lowering benefits of oatmeal is also dose-dependent. That is, the more oatmeal you eat, the lower your cholesterol will go.

Although oatmeal is helpful in lowering cholesterol, some of the ingredients placed in oatmeal may not be. This would include butter, chocolate, whole milk, and cheeses. Be sure to check the ingredients of instant oatmeal and the fat content of added ingredients if you want to achieve the full, cholesterol-lowering effect of oatmeal.

Oatmeal by itself won't lower your cholesterol drastically, but it does help. See, many people believe they can just eat one bowl of oatmeal in the morning and continue to eat all that bad-for-you stuff and it'll bring your cholesterol way down. Not true. Oatmeal is just one member of a group of foods that help -- that group being whole grain breads/cereals/pasta -- so if you REALLY want to get your cholesterol levels down you need to make major changes and eat more whole grains and more of the other foods that help, like eggs, nuts, fresh fruits/vegetables, and lean meats. You'd also have to cut back on fast food, junk food, processed flour/sugar, and saturated fat. So to answer your question: Eating a lot of oatmeal probably would bring your cholesterol levels way down, but eating it regularly and making other healthy diet choices will also lower your cholesterol.

Answer 5

You know oatmeal is useful because it is a soluble fiber. And soluble fiber dissolves in water to form a thick sludge like paste. This occurs to some extent when you make porridge but also occurs in the intestine after the porridge has been ingested. This works in two ways to reduce cholesterol.
The ingested oatmeal slows down the absorption of LDL cholesterol (this is also called the bad cholesterol) into the body. LDL cholesterol is known as the bad cholesterol because it sticks to the walls of the arteries and causes atherosclerosis.
Once in the digestive tract oatmeal travels slowly because of it's consistency. During this process it attaches to bile acids that contain LDL cholesterol. As oatmeal is fiber it passes to the colon and is eventually excreted as waste. The LDL cholesterol goes with it thus reducing cholesterol in the body

Answer 6

it washes out any fatty substance in the intestine and makes it go down with the poop.
the body gets rid of fats, so your cholestrol is lowered.
