When the weather changes seasonally, our bodies try to cope with the changes, especially during the winter when temperatures dip below zero. We need nutritious foods to keep our bodies healthy as they are liable to lose the normal immunity during the cold season they had developed, and become susceptible to various sicknesses.

One of the best ways to keep our bodies healthy is to maintain regular eating habits and look for foods that are good for our systems.

Quaker Oatmeal is one of the foods that will help us spend the winter without getting ill. It is low in calories and easy to digest.

Our bodies don’t function well when the temperature is below zero, and Quaker Oatmeal is one of the right kinds of foods to help our huddled stomachs as it is made with well ground oats that are easy to digest and is very good for bowel movements.

One-person households and households enjoying snacks during meals are increasing these days, and Quaker is especially appealing for them as it can be eaten warm and is a good substitute for regular food.

Unlike other instant foods, including cold cereal eaten with cold milk, Quaker can be eaten with warm milk, soybean milk or with warm water as it becomes like a porridge and is soft, plain and not so sweet, when mixed with warm milk or water good for children and adults.
