"Raw oats are arguably one of the best carbohydrates to eat, as they are a resistant starch that acts as a prebiotic and feeds the good bacteria in our gut that in turn decreases whole-body inflammation," Arti Lakhani, MD, an integrative oncologist from Hinsdale, IL, said to POPSUGAR. "Raw oats also move slowly through our guts, keep us fuller longer, and decrease glucose spikes, which of course decreases inflammation," she says. You can always make an oatmeal, or you can also make a snack out of it that's raw: mix together dark chocolate, berries, nuts, and cinnamon, and store it in the fridge. Just keep the serving size to one-third to one-half of a cup for a healthy snack, she says.
