Is oatmeal good for dinner?

You will not gain weight if you eat oatmeal in moderation for dinner. Oats, like potatoes, can help remove acidic substances in the intestines that affect sleep. They can also relax nerves and have a gentle sleep effect.

First of all, oats can trigger the release of insulin in the body, which can help tryptophan reach the brain and be converted into serotonin there, telling the brain "it's time to sleep."

Secondly, oatmeal will release glucose at a constant rate during sleep, maintain blood sugar balance, and prevent nightmares during sleep, because research has found that nearly 40% of nightmares are caused by hypoglycemia.

Cook a small bowl of oats and add a little honey to taste for a delicious and healthy midnight snack. If you feel that only oats are too monotonous, you can also add an equal amount of barley. In addition to its well-known beauty effects, barley also provides a good feeling of fullness, promotes water metabolism and prevents edema.
