Fiber is a standout in nutrient-rich oats. Acting to lower cholesterol by blocking absorption and forming a gel to slow digestion and induce satiation are soluble fiber’s two mechanisms of action. When it comes to aiding digestion and regularity, insoluble fiber is a shining star. This key nutrient helps food pass through the digestive tract quickly and seamlessly.
