Oats to start the day

An easy quick breakfast that does not create excess inflammation in your body is simple oatmeal.  I add a good amount of cinnamon into my bowl of oatmeal to give it that anti-inflammatory boost.  I also drizzle a little pure maple syrup over the top to sweeten it. Use maple syrup sparingly because too much can contribute to inflammation.  It is a far better choice than sugar though.  For an added boost of nutrition and fiber add raisins or cran raisins. 

I use regular oats that take 5 minutes to cook on the stove top.  Just follow the directions on the box and enjoy.
