Value Of Whole Grains
A major part of clean eating is whole grains. While the fiber value of whole grains is well known,
what you may not know is that they provide so much more.
According to, Dr. Simin Liu, a researcher and professor of epidemiology at the University of
California-Los Angeles, whole grains contain a plethora of vitamins, minerals and
phytochemicals that offer significant health benefits that go way beyond that of dietary fiber.
These Include:
Lowering the risk of Type 2 Diabetes
and lowering blood glucose levels and
insulin after meals.
Improving cholesterol levels.
Reducing visceral adipose tissue,
which, is a type of an especially
unhealthy fat that's deposited
between the body’s major organs and
the abdominal muscles, aka belly fat.
A recent study showed that excess
belly fat is especially dangerous and
can significantly shorten life spans of both men and women.
