Oatmeal and yogurt are two familiar foods in many people's breakfast. However, few people know that soaking oatmeal in yogurt overnight can increase nutritional value and support the digestive system more effectively.

"Soaking oats in yogurt makes them easier to digest and increases the body's ability to absorb nutrients," says Indian nutritionist Sakshi Singh.

Oats are rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals, while yogurt adds protein, calcium and gut-healthy probiotics. When combined, they form a "perfect duo" for health.

Dr. Singh points out 5 health benefits of yogurt-soaked oats.

Supports better digestion

Raw oats are sometimes difficult to digest and can easily cause bloating. When soaked in yogurt, they become softer and easier to digest. At the same time, the probiotics in yogurt also help the digestive system function smoothly, reducing discomfort after eating.

Increase nutrient absorption

Oats contain phytic acid, which can interfere with the absorption of minerals such as iron and zinc. Soaking oats in yogurt helps reduce this acid, thereby increasing the effectiveness of nutrient absorption.

Improve gut health

Yogurt provides probiotics, while oats are rich in fiber - a source of "food" for probiotics to grow. This combination helps balance the intestinal microflora, supports immunity and reduces the risk of digestive disorders.

Helps keep you full longer

The fiber from oats and protein from yogurt make you feel full and control hunger effectively. This is an ideal choice for a healthy breakfast or snack.

Weight control support

This low-calorie yet nutrient-dense dish will help you curb snacking and maintain a healthy weight. "Oatmeal and yogurt are smart choices for people who want to lose weight," says Dr. Singh.

How to make oatmeal soaked in yogurt

Place half a cup of oats in a bowl, cover with yogurt, cover, and refrigerate overnight. The next morning, you can add fresh fruit, nuts, or honey for extra flavor.
