7. Improves Bowel Regularity

High-fiber diets that include oatmeal prevent constipation and bowel irregularity and make it easier to pass stools. The fiber in cereals such as wheat and oat bran is more effective than the fiber in fruits and vegetables. Oat fiber also increases the diversity of gut microbiota, which can improve a wide array of digestive issues from diarrhea to irritable bowel syndrome.
