TheDoctorsTV and Oz: Oatmeal Facials and the Real Deal of Oat Groats for Health
I guess that it’s appropriate to finally set the record straight about oat groats, oatmeal, and the information in the media and on doctors’ TV shows.
It happens all the time! Oatmeal is mistaken as the form of oats which the research has identified as healthy for the heart. I don’t think that cardboard Quaker Oats is going to do what real organic whole oat groats are doing for a person’s health. In fact, you can see the difference when comparing the two using the EAV equipment. They are not identical when it comes to nutrients nor the bio-energetic amount of energy which is the real morsel that feeds the body. Whole oat groats are the best source for both the energy and the nutrients, if you are looking at making a choice when you decide which type of oats you purchase and consume.
It takes a lot longer to cook whole oat groats, but they have more texture and more flavor than the flat rolled oatmeal that is so common. Oatmeal is fast when breakfast times has to happen in a hurry, but on the weekends when you have more time to savor the quality of the food you prepare for your morning meal…make it count. Go for the groats!
Dr. Oz and the doctors on TheDoctorsTV keep smudging the line that separates oatmeal from groats. They probably have never even eaten whole oat groats…LOL Nevertheless, the audience that looks to professionals for good health information should know the difference and eat the oats that are going to contribute to health and wellness. Go for the groats!
An oatmeal mask is probably the most purposeful use for oatmeal, but it’s value in a facial mask is for the abrasive exfoliation of dead skin cells, rather than the nutrient value. There are professionally formulated natural skin care products that use oats and oatmeal that are much better suited for your facial mask and skin care.
If you are going to eat oatmeal, then at least get steel cut oats. There is a difference in texture, nutrient value, and taste. Not much…but a little.
If you’ve never eaten whole oat groats before, be sure to cook them until they are completely done. Add some sea salt, and use purified water for the best results. Then add fresh organic blueberries, real maple syrup, fresh sliced bananas, toasted cashews or pecans, or some honey. If you simply must use a milk, use a coconut milk, a rice milk, a soy milk, or a nut milk.
Whole organic oat groats are the ‘real deal’ and you’ll be surprised at just how long the fuel following breakfast lasts into the rest of your day. The energy in oat groats will take you further, longer, and more evenly than oatmeal does. I don’t mind oatmeal, it’s just not quite as healthy as oat groats. Go for the groats!
Go from the inside out to nourish your skin, your heart, and your culinary happiness…
