Whole grains decrease cholesterol levels, blood pressure,
and blood coagulation, reducing the risk of heart disease and have been found
to reduce the risks of many types of cancer. For diabetics, whole grains may
help regulate blood glucose.
Common types of whole grains include:
- wild rice
- brown rice
- whole wheat
- oatmeal
- whole oats
- barley
- whole rye
- popcorn
It is recommended that all adults eat half their daily
servings of grains as whole grains – that’s at least 3 servings per day. So reap
the rewards whole grains have to offer, and try incorporating them into your
diet.
Have a great week! ~ Adam Burns, Accounting Assistant
