I spent a good part of my life not eating breakfast and never understood how someone could eat food in the morning. Fast forward to now, I cannot function without having something to eat thanks to dieting. Now, I’m always in search of easy healthy recipes. Try this anti-inflammatory oatmeal blueberry breakfast bowl.
I like this recipe because it is so easy to make, and packed with fiber and antioxidants. As you may already know, fiber helps your digestive system eliminate toxins, keep you feeling full, and improve digestion.
Antioxidants are also important because they help remove free radicals that contribute to inflamamtion. Oatmeal contains anti-inflammatory properties as well as prebiotics which feed good bacteria in your gut.
This study shows that eating prebiotic and probiotic-rich foods can help reduce low-grade inflammation so you are getting a whole lot of benefits from this breakfast bowl recipe.
