Uncover the secret to weight loss with oatmeal water

Additional benefits of oatmeal water include lowering cholesterol, protecting against free radicals, anti-inflammatory effects, and a low glycemic index. It also contains essential vitamins and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, iron, selenium, iodine, and B vitamins.

Preparing oatmeal water is straightforward and does not necessitate culinary prowess. All you need are oat flakes, particularly regular or mountain oats, which retain most nutrients and have a low glycemic index, and water.

Here's the basic recipe:

• Add one cup of oat flakes to a jar.
• Pour three cups of water over the flakes.
• Cover the jar and leave it overnight (for at least 8 hours) in the refrigerator.
• In the morning, strain the mixture. First, blend the soaked oats with water before straining for a more robust flavor.
• Refrigerate the oatmeal water for further use.

Oatmeal water can be consumed on an empty stomach, added to smoothies, or even used as a cooking liquid for cereals. Despite being a great hydration source perfect for summer and its undeniable health benefits, remember that it doesn't replace a balanced diet.

Besides dietary use, oatmeal water is also excellent for skincare and hair care. Due to its moisturizing and soothing properties, it's particularly beneficial for people with atopic skin when used for washing the face and body or as a hair rinse.
