Are you looking for a breakfast that provides energy and helps protect your heart and brain? Eating overnight oats with walnuts and blueberries is a great option to kickstart your day while improving your health.
Blueberries have powerful antioxidants called flavonoids, which help protect your brain from damage. Walnuts are rich in vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps prevent cell damage, and they also contain omega-3 fatty acids, which help construct healthy cell walls. Together these two ingredients provide essential nutrients for neurological health. Oats provide sustained energy and can help reduce blood sugar levels post-meal as well as lower cholesterol levels. Eating this combination of ingredients helps protect both the heart and brain due to its high fiber content, low saturated fat content, antioxidants, vitamins & minerals.
