Oatmeal
Oatmeal is a healthy breakfast option, and can be especially effective if you are hoping to achieve a younger complexion.
Oats are high in antioxidants that can help improve the overall look and feel of your skin. According to HuffPost, "Oats ... are packed with the antioxidants that do battle against cell damage. And that can help plump skin and reduce wrinkles."
That's not the only benefit of having oatmeal for breakfast.
The article continues, "For years, research has shown a strong correlation between oatmeal and cholesterol reduction. Oatmeal is rich in soluble fiber that gets rid of “bad” cholesterol."
With all these health and beauty benefits, starting your morning with oatmeal seems like a no-brainer. Unfortunately, oatmeal sometimes gets a bad rep for being too bland and not too tasty.
The good news? You can add pretty much anything to oatmeal to make it more delicious.
Try adding in fruit, nut butters, cinnamon, or honey to make a sweeter bowl of oatmeal. Or, if you are not a fan of sweet breakfasts, check out this savory oatmeal recipe!
