Why We Love
Oatmeal
According to Ayurvedic texts, oats are described as a wholesome (Pathya) food, highly nutritious, and possessing scraping properties (Lekhana property). They are a rich source of protein, fiber, and minerals, making them an essential part of one’s diet. However, oats have an astringent taste (Kasaya rasa) and dry quality (Ruksha guna), which can potentially aggravate Vata dosha. To counterbalance this dryness, it is advisable to consume oats with unctuous substances (Snighda guna dravya) like milk and ghee, which help maintain a normal balance of Vata dosha. Furthermore, oats have shown potential in inhibiting, ameliorating, or preventing various diseases associated with uncontrolled adipogenesis and lipolysis. These diseases include obesity, overweight, lipid storage disease, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, thrombosis, and hypercholesterolemia. In addition to their nutritional value, oats are packed with essential nutrients such as vitamins B, Bs, and E, as well as minerals like calcium, iron, manganese, and zinc. They also contain a soothing oil and a small amount of alkaloids, while their stems are rich in beneficial flavonoids. Oats have gained recognition in the world of cosmetics due to their high vitamin B2 content, promoting healthy skin, and their moisturizing properties from vitamin E and oil. |
