Oat water helps regulate metabolism, improve intestinal transit, and reduce bad cholesterol (LDL), thanks to its high fiber content. It's also diuretic and purifying, useful for fighting water retention, combating cellulite, and eliminating toxins. Furthermore, it helps stabilize blood sugar levels and has soothing and antioxidant properties, which are also beneficial for the skin, especially for acne or irritation.
Several studies, such as those published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition and PubMed, confirm the benefits of oats for cardiovascular health, glycemic control, and intestinal health.
How to make oat water at home
All you need is 1 cup of whole oat flakes and 1 liter of water. Soak the oats for at least 6-8 hours (or overnight). Afterward, blend everything together, then strain the liquid through a fine sieve or cheesecloth. Store in the refrigerator and drink 1-2 glasses a day, preferably on an empty stomach or before meals.
