Oatmeal is more than just a delicious breakfast food though.  It has also been shown to lower cholesterol levels, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, and stabilize blood sugar.  Add some chia seed and ground flax seed to your bowl, and you have a meal that is packed with fiber, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids.
