My Lunch

Yesterday I cooked pumpkin oats for my lunch.  My colleagues expression were o.O then they said "yucks!!!" LOL.

There are 2 reasons I take oats. First, reduce my cholesterol. Second, it is use to replace white rice (to reduce carbo intake).

The extra benefit of taking oats, it can increase in milk supply.

Eat oats. Eat oatmeal, bake and eat oatmeal cookies--be creative. eat at least one cup of oats every day, split into two or more eating sessions. Drink plenty of water when you eat the oats. Oats are a galactogogue (something that increases breastmilk production) and are very healthy for your digestive tract as well.

The humble oat is one of our most nutritious foods, and contains proteins, vitamins, minerals and trace elements that nourish the nerves, support the metabolism of fats, and uplift the spirit. In traditional medicine, both the seed and the leaf—called oat-straw—are taken. Oats are prescribed as a nervine tonic in the treatment of nervous exhaustion. In Europe, women traditionally take oats after birth. Oats are taken today in the US to increase milk production, both as food and as a supplement. Like other galactagogues, oats are antidepressant, antispasmodic, and they increase perspiration.

Apart from this, pumpkin is nutritious.
