Good News on benefits of Whole Grains
Check out the news at THIS LINK.
An excerpt:
*Cutting calories helps people lose weight, but doing so by filling up on whole grains may be particularly heart-healthy, new research suggests.
In a study of obese adults at risk of heart disease, researchers found that those who trimmed calories and increased their whole-grain intake shed more belly fat and lowered their blood levels of C-reactive protein or CRP.
CRP is a marker of chronic, low-level inflammation in the blood vessels, and both abdominal fat and CRP, in excess, are linked to heart attack and stroke.*
Read the entire article for complete info. It doesn't mean to really fill up on whole grains only! And, it advises avoiding refined grains like white bread and others.
