Another amazing, healthy breakfast that tastes just like dessert. Granola is basically toasted oats with a selection of nuts, honey and dried fruit.

Italian researchers reviewed existing research about the positive effects of the beta glucans of oats on human health.

Also interesting: Researchers in Mannheim, Germany carried out a dietary intervention with 14 patients who had uncontrolled type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance. The patients were introduced to a diabetes-appropriate diet containing oatmeal during a short hospital stay, then examined again four weeks later.
On average, patients achieved a 40% reduction in insulin dosage – and maintained the reduction even after
4 weeks on their own at home.
