My tip is to use ( I prefer)unsweetened soy milk to cook the oatmeal in with the oatmeal you have blended while dry before hand in a blender, nutribullet or food processor. This makes it smooth and yummy. Don't forget to add vanilla extract flavoring. Add some blueberry, and banana.

[@nourishcenter]

That's a great tip for making oatmeal! Using unsweetened soy milk to cook the oats and blending them beforehand is a fantastic way to create a smooth and delicious texture, and adding vanilla extract and fresh fruit like blueberries and bananas is a tasty and nutritious way to enhance the flavor and add some extra nutrients to your breakfast. Thanks for sharing your tips with us! 😊🍌🫐

[@dianelezo2019]

What brand oats would be recommended to buy?

[@Darkempress45]

@@dianelezo2019any brand is good. Just don’t get the instant oats as they processed more and have added flavorings and sugar. Get old fashioned oats or steel cut oats. They are better at removing cholesterol from the body and will keep you full longer.

[@debraraby4376]

Excellent information, light bulb moment for me when you explained why animal products have cholesterol, of course because they make it in their liver. No idea why I didn't know that but it makes so much sense! Thank you.

[@debraraby4376]

Will the oatmeal cause a high blood sugar spike? Thanks in advance.

[@nourishcenter]

I'm so glad that my explanation helped you have a light bulb moment! It's always a great feeling when new information helps things make more sense. It's my pleasure to provide clear and helpful information about nutrition and health. If you have any other questions or topics you'd like me to cover, please let me know! Also, the effect of oatmeal on blood sugar levels can vary depending on several factors, such as the amount of oatmeal consumed, the type of oatmeal (e.g. steel-cut, rolled, instant), and the addition of other ingredients. However, in general, oatmeal has a low glycemic index, meaning it is less likely to cause a rapid rise in blood sugar levels compared to other high-carbohydrate foods. Additionally, adding protein and healthy fats, such as nuts or seeds, to your oatmeal can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates and further reduce the risk of a blood sugar spike. It's always a good idea to monitor your blood sugar levels and see how oatmeal fits into your individualized goals. I hope this helps! 🌱🙌🤗

[@lorrainehicks3174]

Just checked out the pear/Oates breakfast One of the ingredients is coconut oil From what I’ve read people with high cholesterol should avoid it

[@nourishcenter]

You can swap the oil for another plant oil like avocado oil 😊. The research is indeed split where coconut oil is concerned. Some research says it’s good because it has MCT and others say that it could potentially still increase cholesterol. Therefore, more research needs to be done unfortunately. Hope this helps!

[@felicianacolumbres9050]

How about bitter gourd and abocado....can they Help in reducing cholesterol?

[@Darkempress45]

Bitter gourd or bitter melon is an excellent food source to reduce cholesterol. Here is the link to a Japanese study that was done to test the effects of bitter gourd on cholesterol www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6250023/. The potassium, magnesium, and calcium in bitter melon reduce bad or LDL cholesterol levels in our blood and maintain good cholesterol or HDL levels. Cholesterol is one of the leading causes of many heart conditions, so bitter gourd improves heart health. Here is what the Mayo Clinic says about eating avocado to lower cholesterol: “Avocados are a good source of nutrients as well as monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs). Research suggests that the fiber from avocados can improve HDL cholesterol levels and the quality of LDL cholesterol. Adding two servings of avocado per week to a heart-healthy diet can lower your risk of heart disease.” Avocados have fat in them but the fat that they contain are healthy fats that help to raise your HDL cholesterol. HDL cholesterol protects against heart attacks and strokes by carrying LDL (the bad cholesterol) away from the arteries and back to the liver, where LDL is broken down and eliminated from the body through the digestive system. Hope this helps! ❤

[@nourishcenter]

Great question! Bitter gourd (also called bitter melon) and avocado are both excellent choices for heart health. Bitter gourd's momordicin and fiber content can contribute to lowering cholesterol, while avocado's healthy fats and fiber may help raise good HDL cholesterol and reduce bad LDL cholesterol. Just remember that it's essential to maintain an overall heart-healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise. 🥑🌿🍽️

[@tamikal.7346]

Hello Shannon, I ran across this video and throughly enjoyed it. I recently had my bloodwork done and my cholesterol was 204. Last year it was 202 so its starting to slowly creep up. I intermittent fast and my 1st meal 90% of the time is oatmeal w/apples, cinnamin and a table spoon of brwn suger. My Dr told me to stop eating the oatmeal because its reving up my insulin(pre-diabetic) and could be the reason why my cholesterol is creeping up. Since Ive stopped eating oatmeal for a couple of weeks and eat 2 brwn eggs and fruit/vegetables for breakfast. I have noticed im dropping weight and my insulin # has even lowered. Is there truth in oatmeal may not always be good for you? Just curious!

[@nourishcenter]

Thanks for your message! Oatmeal is generally healthy and can help lower cholesterol due to its soluble fiber. However, everyone's body reacts differently. If your doctor noticed it was affecting your insulin levels, switching to a protein-rich breakfast like eggs with fruits and vegetables sounds like a good move for you. It's great to hear you're seeing positive changes with this new approach! For some people, oatmeal can create blood sugar spikes and for others it can lower cholesterol. The human body is really unique and we must take a personalized approach, ALWAYS, to nutrition! Keep monitoring your health and follow your doctor's advice.

[@sunnyvaleria889]

Thank you for this video. I like eating fruit but don't like eating vegetables. I dont like cooking for lunch and try to eat some grapes, cheddar cheese and various nuts. Is that a good lunch?

[@nourishcenter]

Absolutely! It's wonderful that you enjoy eating fruit, and your lunch of grapes, cheddar cheese, and various nuts is a tasty combination. However, to make your meal even more nutritionally balanced, you might consider incorporating some vegetables to boost your fiber intake and overall nutrition. At The Nourish Center, we follow the Nourish Blueprint method, which emphasizes a balance of fiber, protein, and healthy fats at most meals. This approach helps ensure that you get a well-rounded and satisfying meal that supports your health and well-being. Adding a side salad with mixed greens, tomatoes, and cucumbers, for example, can complement your lunch perfectly. This way, you'll not only enjoy the deliciousness of fruit and the richness of cheddar cheese and nuts but also get a wider range of nutrients to keep you energized and feeling great throughout the day. Keep up the good work on your journey to nourishing your body with a variety of foods! 🍇🧀🥗💪

When I went full plant based, whole food, my LDL increased from 110 to 160. I eat fruits and veggies, black rice, chia, flax, a few nuts and seeds. Have you heard of this case?

[@nourishcenter]

Absolutely! Try limiting your intake of coconut oil and coconut products. I have found that many of my vegan clients who did this were able to lower their cholesterol as well. Also, a lot of processed vegan foods can also be high in saturated fat, so be sure to read the label. Remember, saturated fat and trans fat raise cholesterol. Of course, consult with your dietitian first before changing anything in your diet though!

[@pcorp09]

@@nourishcenter Thanks for your teply. I was actually plant based, but not strictly whole food, but no processed food. I ate some meat which caused my LDL go beyond normal range, to 110, I went back to plantbased, this time; whole foods plant based, no fried food, no processed vegan or meat food, no fish, no dairy, no animal food, no oil. Then my LDL further increased to 160. I am just wondering if you have heard same experience from others.

[@Darkempress45]

Also, but some cookbooks specifically geared to lowering cholesterol. There are also lots of recipe channels on KZbin dedicated to healthy cooking. I’ve went plant based and I don’t even miss the taste of meat anymore. Trust me, eating healthier will change your taste buds! Also, eating with more veggies in your diet that meat will make you a more creative cook. Here is one of my favorite heart healthy, meat free recipes: Rice, tomato and black bean stew Ingredients: One medium onion, chopped Whole grain wild rice or brown rice Vegetable broth (optional) One can of low sodium black beans, drained and rinsed Low sodium tomato soup (you can make your own or if you don’t feel like doing that, my favorite store bought brand is Pacific Foods Organic Gluten Free Low Sodium Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup. If you use this option, use about half of the carton, if you use canned, use the whole can) One can of diced tomatoes with their juice One to two tsp of garam masala spice mix (you can get from most grocery stores. This is an Indian spice mix) One tsp of garlic powder One tsp of onion powder Half tsp of salt Black pepper to taste Cook the whole grain wild rice/brown rice according to package instructions. You can use vegetable broth to cook the rice in to give it more flavor or just use water. In a pot, sauté the chopped onion with just one tablespoon of oil and cook until fragrant. Add the tomato soup and diced canned tomatoes and all the spices and let simmer on low for about 15 minutes to let the flavors marry. Once the rice is done, add a few big spoon full of the rice into the tomato mixture. Use your own judgment about how much rice you’d like to add. I like mine a little bit liquid so I don’t add all of the rice, I save the rest to make more of this recipe or use it in another recipe. Once you’ve combined the rice into the tomato mixture, you are done. Adjust the seasoning to your taste but keep in mind not to add too much salt. I like to eat this with a vegan grilled cheese sandwich, you are more than welcome to use regular cheese if you make the grilled cheese to go with it. The bread I use is Mike’s Killer Bread (the thin slices) and the cheese I use is VioLife Vegan Smoked Provolone Cheese. It’s DELICIOUS! Hope this helps! ❤
