Oatmeal with Dried Longan

A great way to start your day is by having a bowl of oatmeal. Oatmeal is excellent source of fiber, vitamin E, zinc, selenium, copper, iron, manganese, and magnesium. Foods high fiber keep you fuller for a longer period and can also help lower bad cholesterol levels; therefore, I highly recommend the consumption of high fiber foods to improve health. To make the oatmeal tastier, I added Dried Longan and some brown sugar. Dried Longan provides a number of health benefits as it have been said to improve concentration and memory, stomachache, insomnia, and amnesia. It is also a good source of fiber and iron.
