How to Make Roasted Coconut Sesame Oatmeal

PREPARATION OF THIS HEALTHY RECIPE

1. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil, reduce heat and add the oil and the sugar. Let simmer while you prepare the oats.

2. Grind the oatmeal in a coffee grinder.

3. Dry roast the sesame seeds and coconut shavings on medium heat until they start to brown. Take care to stir frequently as they easily burn once they start to turn brown.

4. Mix the oatmeal with a cup of cold water. Add salt. Then add the oatmeal to the boiling hot water. Return to a boil stirring constantly. Cook until it reaches a soft, even, creamy consistency and has absorbed all of the water. Top with toasted coconut flakes and sesame seeds.

How Does This Ayurvedic Recipe Improve Wellness?

CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW

Enjoy the satisfying creaminess of piping hot oatmeal topped with the nutty aroma of roasted sesame and coconut. As the weather turns cool in early fall, your body seems to crave the hearty warmth of roasted nuts & grains. Here the bold & flavorful crunch of roasted coconut & sesame adds more than adventure. Sesame's natural warming properties make for a robust start to a hectic day, while coconut's sweetness is a stress-soothing balm on busy, bustling mornings. Life seems more comfortable after this rich, nourishing breakfast treat.

Healthy Comfort Food that Soothes Stress

With its unctuous silkiness and rich enticing aroma, coconut oil may be the ultimate 'neuron' comfort food. Its high content of quality fats nourish a sizzled nervous system, helping you meet daily challenges with less struggle. Your neurons are coated in a fatty layer called the myelin sheath, which guides nerve impulses and insulates the neuron from hyperactivity. When his fatty layer is dried out or deficient, your nerves will be easily agitated and anxious.

As it relaxes your nerves, you'll also find this breakfast a soothing balm for intense emotions. Hot emotions such as anger, impatience, and frustration are considered the result of a stressed liver in Ayurveda and Chinese medicine. Moistened with fats and pleased by the sweet, comforting aromas of coconut and oats, your intense emotions are diffused before they arise, keeping you grounded, calm and collected throughout the day.

On the Mend

This dish is excellent for someone who feels depleted by the hustle & bustle of the work week, or even late nights of insomnia. If you are fatigued, or have had a rough day emotionally, this recipe is a cushion for your nerves and is restorative to your liver. Coconut oil contains healthy fats that are quickly and easily absorbed, digested, and metabolized by your body, making them ideal for nourishing the elderly, anyone with a delicate constitution or who feels fragile, and those recovering from a recent illness.

A bowl of oatmeal in the morning can help you stay regular while you are rebuilding your strength after an illness. Oatmeal is easy to digest and contains ample amounts of soluble and insoluble fiber to keep your bowels healthy. This is a comfort food that feels good on the way in, keeps you satisfied along the way, and feels good on the way out. Altogether it gives you a satisfaction that is 'marrow deep'.

Build Stamina, Feel Warm

Hearty oats, sesame, and coconut build strength and stamina - and who doesn't want to 'feel their oats?' Sesame restores your vigor and vitality on a chilly autumn morning. Its naturally warming and stamina building properties stick to your ribs and keep you feeling toasty. For those of you who are sensitive to cold, the addition of sesame seeds will warm you from your core.

While most nourishing foods depress metabolism, coconut is unusual in its ability to support the thyroid and improve metabolism. Dropping temperatures and unpredictable weather in the fall amplify worries and deplete the adrenals, which are bound to take a hard hit during stressful situations. Sesame seeds revive your sense of stability and stamina. Black sesame seeds in particular nourish exhausted, overworked adrenals.

Metabolic Nature of Roasted Coconut Sesame Oatmeal

See a complete list of all biocharacteristics.

METABOLIC NATURE

Metabolic Nature

Ayurveda assesses metabolic imbalances through 20 main biocharacteristics (gunas). Aggravating them weakens your body and causes imbalance. By knowing which biocharacteristics are habitually imbalanced in your body, you will be able to identify and correct metabolic imbalances before you get sick. Every biocharacteristic has an opposite which balances it (i.e. hot balances cold). You restore balance by favoring diet and lifestyle choices that increase the opposite biocharacteristic.

TASTES

The 6 Tastes

Taste is used to sense the most basic properties and effects of food. Each taste has a specific medicinal effect on your body. Cravings for food with certain tastes indicate your body is craving specific medicinal results from food. Taste is experienced on the tongue and represents your body's reaction to foods. Sweet taste causes physical satisfaction and attraction whereas bitter taste causes discomfort and aversion. Kapha should use less sweet taste while Vata and Pitta would benefit from using more sweet taste. One of the first signs of illness is that your taste and appetite for food changes. The six tastes are sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent. Do you crave foods with any of the tastes below?

DOSHAS

The Three Doshas / Body Types

Ayurveda is a metabolic theory of medicine that explains individual health, tendencies, and disease patterns through the concept of doshas, which can be understood as your metabolic patterns and tendencies.

Each dosha reflects a distinct metabolic nature and describes strengths & weaknesses in bodily function, and how these affect energy levels, digestion, susceptibility to disease, and many other tendencies.

Your metabolic nature not only affects your physical characteristics, but also influences your mental thought patterns, confidence, and enthusiasm.

Ayurveda balances these metabolic strengths & weaknesses to support your body's vitality and prevent recurrent disease cycles. This support is a critical aid, especially in chronic or incurable disease conditions.

The 3 metabolic body types (doshas), are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).

Through dosha, Ayurveda empowers people to identify metabolic imbalances early, break repetitive patterns of disease, and cultivate habits that support long-term vitality and well-being.

Ultimately, these metabolic patterns also provide a framework for understanding yourself, including body, mind, and spiritual tendencies.

“Not worth all that toasting, and boiling! Much better eaten raw. I have raw oats soaked in milk (almond, soya, or other non-dairy milk) with fruit for breakfast every day. I add a teaspoon of ground linseeds, and a little ground apricot kernels (a cancer preventative_) but could also add some desiccated coconut and ground sesame seeds for a change. No need to do all that cooking! Porridge oats are better on their own if wanted as a hot dish, with milk and a little honey, or if Scottish, some salt! "
