WIC-Approved Food of the Month: Oatmeal

Did you know? 🤔Oats contain large amounts of beta-glucan, a type of soluble fiber! Beta-glucan partially dissolves in water and forms a thick, gel-like solution in your gut. 🥣 This helps move food further along through your digestive system and creates prebiotic effects! ✨

The health benefits of beta-glucan fiber found in foods like oatmeal include:
🌟reduced blood glucose and insulin response
🌟increased growth of good bacteria in the digestive tract
🌟regulation of type 2 diabetes
