Technical Details
⭐️ Why plant based and not animal based?
For a number of reasons. Three of them are
- because plant based milk is lower in saturated fat and has normally less calories. Saturated fat if taken in excess can increase your LDL and therefore the risk of having heart disease and strokes.
- because plant based milk does not contain lactose that causes indigestion and bloating. According to studies, cows milk is one of the most incompatible milks to human as we do not produce enough enzyme (lactase) to digest its lactose. Its a different case for yogurt, as that got rid of lactose due the fermentation process.
- because plant based milk has a lower carbon footprint than animal milk and therefore is more environmentally friendly
⭐️ What are some of the benefits of eating oats?
For a number of reasons. Three of them are
- oats are amongst the healthier grains and are also gluten free – always check the package! They are rich in fibers and that means that they can keep you fuller for longer. therefore they contribute not only in helping you to eat less calories for the rest of the day, but also keep your intestine clean and healthy.
- oats are cholesterol magnets. They create a sticky substance and absorb the cholesterol.
- oats can help to keep blood sugar levels low.
