Helps Prevent Migraines
Studies show that those who suffer from chronic migraines often show lower levels of magnesium than those who do not. Therefore, a healthy balance of magnesium may help prevent migraines (22).
Magnesium is one of the Top 5 most plentiful minerals found in the body, and it’s essential for proper nerve function. One cup of cooked oatmeal contains 15% of the daily recommended intake of magnesium.
Oats are loaded with important vitamins, minerals and antioxidant plant compounds. Half a cup (78 grams) of dry oats contains (5):
Manganese: 191% of the RDI
Phosphorus: 41% of the RDI
Magnesium: 34% of the RDI
Copper: 24% of the RDI
Iron: 20% of the RDI
Zinc: 20% of the RDI
Folate: 11% of the RDI
Vitamin B1 (thiamin): 39% of the RDI
Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid): 10% of the RDI
Smaller amounts of calcium, potassium, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) and vitamin B3 (niacin)
