When it comes to breakfast grains, oats receive all the attention, but barley is a major step up. Not only is it more full and satisfying, but it's also high in prebiotic fiber, which promotes good gut bacteria.

Also, it includes beta-glucans, a form of soluble fiber that has been shown to lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels. And, at 6 grams per 1-cup serving, it contains more fiber than most other whole grains. So why not give barley a shot?
