Kate Middleton eats same breakfast every day which is proven to lower cholesterol

Kate Middleton enjoys eating the same superfood breakfast every day - and it provides her with enough energy to keep up with her three young children.

The Princess of Wales, who turned 43 this week, endured a particularly challenging year last year after announcing in March that she was having preventative chemotherapy after cancer was found in tests.

Thankfully, in November, she announced she had finished chemotherapy treatment and said that her focus was "staying cancer free" in a candid family video.

The mum-of-three has gradually been returning to royal duties, starting with a visit to Southport in October after three schoolgirls were killed, and will be hoping to continue building up her fitness.

The princess has spoken regularly about her interest in fitness, including her previous love of playing tennis, and it seems her diet is in-keeping with her healthy lifestyle.

Her diet has been heavily reported over the years, with her day-to-day meals said to be heavily focused on fruit and vegetables. For breakfast, she is thought to regularly enjoy a bowl of slow-burn energy oats, which is perfect to match the demands of a busy mum.

Writing his book 'Catherine, The Princess of Wales', the royal author Robert Jobson revealed that healthy eating remains part of Prince William and Kate's daily regime.

He wrote: "Catherine is said to favour slow-burn energy oats for breakfast and both are light eaters at lunch, enjoying salads and fruits. She also has healthy snacks and once told a child at Great Ormond Street Hospital that she ate a lot of olives.

"Given her model figure, her sweet tooth is a surprise to some and apparently she loves sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Neither of them are big drinkers; William favours a pint of cider over beer and Catherine’s aperitif of choice is a gin and tonic."

Oatmeal, otherwise known as porridge, is known for being a 'superfood'. Oats can help keep you fuller for longer, which can stop you snacking or overeating, and in turn, potentially help you shift unwanted pounds, as consuming filling foods can assist you in reducing calorie intake.

Not only are they delicious and easy to prepare but they also are renowned for lowering cholesterol levels, according to the Express.,A large part of this is down to their fibre content with a 40g bowl of rolled oats containing around 3 g of fibre.

Fibre works in the body by slowing down the rate at which cholesterol is absorbed in the bloodstream while also increasing the amount of cholesterol that is excreted through fecal lipids, bile and bile acids.

In particular, soluble fibre, which oats are an excellent source of, is known as beta-glucan which lowers cholesterol by binding to cholesterol-rich bile acids in the gut.

According to Healthline, oats are also packed full of thiamine, phosphorus, magnesium, and B vitamins such as niacin and folate. Together they collectively collaborate to assist your body in energy metabolism.
