Because they are a whole grain, they have more nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and fiber, then other processed grains. Oats also have more soluble fiber than most grains, much of which is beta-glucan, thought to be beneficial for cholesterol.
To try to quantify how big the difference is between the optimal temperature for men vs. women, researchers from Maastrict University in the Netherlands recruited 16 women to sit inside a temperature chamber set at 75.2 degrees Fahrenheit (or 24 degrees Celsius), on the warmer end of a typical setting for an office.
Summer conditions: optimum temperature of 24.5Â°C with an acceptable range of 23-26Â°C ; Winter conditions: optimum temperature of 22Â°C with an acceptable range of 20-23.5Â°C ; NOTE: CSA indicates both of these conditions are based on Table 3 from ASHRAE Standard 55, at 50% relative humidity and average air speed of . 0.15 m/s.
