1. Oats
Oats are a wholegrain cereal usually eaten for breakfast as porridge or in muesli. They have more soluble fibre than other grains.
A soluble fibre found in the outer endosperm cell wall of this cereal known as beta-glucan reduces absorption of cholesterol in the small intestine. Eating enough oats so you get around three grams of beta-glucan daily reduces your total cholesterol and LDL (bad) cholesterol in both people with high and normal cholesterol.
Half a cup of raw rolled oats (50 grams) contains about two grams of beta-glucan and four grams of fibre. Oat bran is a bit higher with eight to 12 grams of beta-glucan in every 100 grams.
Put another way, three bowls of porridge a week gives you enough soluble fibre and decreases your total cholesterol so much that if everyone started eating rolled oats, then the incidence of heart disease would drop by about 4%.
Clearly, oats for breakfast are a must. And there’s an added bonus – they’re cheap, at $4 to $5 a kilogram.

Notice how meat diary and chicken are not on the list!!!
Whole food plant based diets! Read the china study!
Notice how fast food and processed foods are not on the list?
641 you're full of crap. Nothing wrong with meat,dairy, or chicken until you make them a majority part of your diet. Unfortunately too many people do. No need for the super vegan propaganda. You can eat lean meat and dairy every day and maintain a perfectly healthy lifestyle
641, limit my diet to 5 things?
How unhealthy is that?
I'll continue with a tad of everything, thank you!
Meats of all types and dairy products are good for the human body and the human body was designed to function more healthier if you include these in your diet. The problem is the diet fed to the animals that produce the meat and dairy products. Then you have the over processing which adds more chemicals.
I have the solution;everybody just eat whatever they want.See,problem solved.
I agree with you 1:32. I just wish the government would get with the program and require accurate and honest food labeling. The government concerns themselves with nutrition facts in labeling but not what actually makes up the food. A Hormel roast contains 30 percent added “patented flavoring solution." What make up this "solution" would be really nice for consumers to know. The practice of pumping up poultry with salt water is common as well and labeling should read-this chicken is pumped up with whatever percentage of salt water."
2:18 but then how could they rip off the public and keep their profits?
6:41 AM I thought you were supposed to write in a diary and not eat it.
