Live a whole life longer, healthier, happier with whole Grains

June 11th, 2008 · No Comments

Whole grains have great nutritional value. A minimum of 3 whole grain servings a day are needed for everyone. Whole grains provide the best anti-aging benefits. Yet we eat less than one daily serving of whole grains because of lack of knowledge about the magical nutritional value of whole grains.
This whole grain seed has three key parts: the bran (the outer coating), the germ (the embryo), and the endosperm (the largest portion of the kernel).

The refining of the whole grain removes the bran and the germ, leaving only the endosperm. Without the bran and germ, grain’s protein along with 15 or more key nutrients is lost.

Whole grains, on the other hand, are a good source of dietary fiber, protein, essential fatty acids, as well as other important nutrients and vitamins. Additionally, a lot of evidence suggests that eating whole grains reduces the risks of coronary heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes and obesity. Few other foods offer such a diverse array of benefits

Barley, corn, oats, quinoa, rice, rye, sorghum, spelt, wheat - are more nutritious when they are eaten in their whole.

Research has found that the bran coating of brown rice is rich in nutrients with 70 anti-oxidants, a few include famous anti-aging powerhouses: vitamin E, coenzyme Q-10 (CoQ-10), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD), proanthocyanidins, and inositol hexaphosphate (IP6).

Brown rice is also very effective in lowering high blood sugar and consequently is an excellent food for diabetics.
