Do You Think Oats are Sexy? Rude Health thinks so

"Morning Glory...contains organic British oats which the makers claim 'enhances libido by re-balancing oestrogen and testosterone levels to help keep your stamina up all morning'....

Previous medical studies show oats can improve sex drive, help hangovers, prevent heart disease, fight infections, heal skin and even help smokers to quit because they have a calming effect on the nervous system." - via Scottsman


True. Steady blood sugar from oats (in a good breakfast) gives energy to frolic and makes a mind feel good and balanced. And feeling good makes everyone else feel good. And isn't love about feeling good? Wouldn't it be funny if breakfast is all it took to help us reach world peace?

Conversely, with no food in the belly, people tend to make poor choices, get cranky and suffer from that mid-morning energy crash.

A recent study in Japan points to the differences between teens who have breakfast and those who don't: teens who don't have breakfast tend to get pregnant much earlier and have worse relationships with their parents than teens who eat a meal in the morning. Crankiness and poor choices indeed.

Which factor affects the other? Is it the bad family environment or the way teens feel inside? While we can debate forever, I'm going to stick with my healthy breakfast.

Funny, isn't it? All it takes is a little oats. And some loving.

I don't have any recipes with me today, but check out www.rudehealth.com for some oat recipes.
