The Whole Truth - Whole grains for Health
The frightening truth:
- 3.7 million Australians have heart disease
- Over 51% of adults have high blood cholesterol levels.
- Massive increases in the rate of Type 2 Diabetes.
- Growing childhood obesity
You don't have to be a statistic in Australia's health crisis. Adopting a healthy lifestyle can help prevent and manage these conditions. By including more whole plant foods, such as wholegrain cereals and fewer refined and processed foods you can improve your health and well-being.
With so little time these days, often is hard to get it right. But two very quick and easy ways to improve your health are:
Whole Grain Studies
Studies have shown that eating whole grains can:
- Reduce risk of heart disease by 20-40%
- Assist with weight control by reducing grazing/snacking
- Reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes by 20-30%
- Improve bowel health and regularity
- Lower cholesterol and blood pressure
- Protect against certain cancers by 30-40%
- Offer a low GI diet and benefits
- Are a natural muti-vitamin
