Benefits of Overnight Oats


The nutritional value of oats is very high. Oatmeal is rich in carbohydrates, water-soluble fiber, protein and unsaturated fatty acids. Carbohydrates can replenish the energy and blood sugar after a night’s sleep. Water-soluble fiber provides a feeling of satiety and stablises the blood sugar. Oats’ unsaturated fatty acids also help lower cholesterol and maintain cardiovascular health. In addition, most of overnight oats are made with milk, which contains various nutrients such as protein, vitamin A, B, calcium, copper and iron. Calcium, tryptophan and chromate are among the “happy nutrients” that help relieve tension and make you feel good. If you are preparing for children, you can take out the oats from the fridge earlier to let it “warm up” to around room temperature before serving to the little ones.

I bet most of you have heard your parents or you parent-in-laws said this before. Do not hang baby’s clothes out to dry  overnight . They must be kept indoors before sunset! I have been following this advice for as long as I can remember without questioning the rationale behind this.

I brought my son for a tongue tie release surgery when he was only two months old. It was the worst decision in my life. I probably would never be able to forget the ordeal for the rest of my life.
