Pumpkin Spiced Oatmeal

Increasing nutrient absorption, helping you stay regular and improving bowel health are just some of the digestive advantages of oatmeal. Pumpkin is very easy to digest because it’s low in starch and sugar, but still high in fibre. It’s also a soft food so your body doesn’t have to go through much to break it down.
