A Spanish cardiologist has given his verdict on oats and how they should be eaten to maximise their health benefits.

The advice was given by Aurelio Rojas, who has amassed a huge following online for his regular dietary tips.

In his latest video, he asks the question ‘oats: yes or no?’, to which he replies: ‘YES, but only if it’s whole grain.’

He said such oats reduce LDL cholesterol and triglycerides and help reduce blood pressure.

The expert also said they improve insulin sensitivity, your gut microbiome, sleep and even concentration.

If eaten regularly, they can reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes by up to 30%.

Rojas also said they help lower the risk to your cardiovascular health.

His ‘top tip’ on how to consume them in the most healthy way is to have 40 to 60g of whole grain oats with a dollop of yoghurt or kefir, plus some berries or a kiwi.

He said if you consumer this three to five days per week, you will make a big difference to your health.
