Oatmeal has a lot going for it, and all of it is good. Known mostly as a breakfast staple, oatmeal can be worked into a number of other things including cookies. Oatmeal has the ability to help soak up excess acid in the stomach, and make heartburn less likely. Oatmeal is also very filling, and is something that will stick with you and help keep you feeling full for hours.
