Kate Middleton is known for starting her day with the same superfood breakfast, which gives her the energy she needs to keep up with her three young children.
The Princess of Wales, who celebrated her 43rd birthday this week, had a challenging year last year.
In March, she announced that she was undergoing preventative chemotherapy after cancer was detected in tests. Thankfully, by November, she shared that she had completed her chemotherapy treatment and was now focusing on “staying cancer free” as revealed in a heartfelt family video.
The mum-of-three has been gradually resuming her royal duties, beginning with a visit to Southport in October following the tragic death of three schoolgirls. She hopes to continue improving her fitness.
The princess has often spoken about her interest in fitness, including her past love for tennis, and it appears her diet aligns with her healthy lifestyle. Over the years, her diet has been widely discussed, with reports suggesting that she primarily consumes fruit and vegetables.
For breakfast, Kate reportedly enjoys a bowl of slow-burn energy oats, ideal for a busy mum’s demands. In his book ‘Catherine, The Princess of Wales’, royal author Robert Jobson reveals that healthy eating continues to be a part of Prince William and Kate’s daily routine, reports Surrey Live.
He noted: “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, known for its ‘superfood’ status, could be your secret weapon in feeling fuller longer, therefore preventing excess snacking or overeating which may assist in weight management. Plus, oatmeal shines in the health department by possibly lowering cholesterol levels, as per the Express.
A major reason for this is down to their fibre content, with a 40g bowl of rolled oats boasting around 3g of fibre. Fibre aids the body by decelerating the absorption of cholesterol into the bloodstream and increasing the amount of cholesterol dumped through fecal lipids, bile and bile acids.
In particular, the soluble fibre in oats, known as beta-glucan, is championed for reducing cholesterol by latching onto cholesterol-rich bile acids within the intestines.
Healthline reports that oats are brimming with thiamine, phosphorus, magnesium, and B vitamins like niacin and folate. These nutrients work together to help your body metabolise energy.
