4 Benefits of Whole Grains

  1. Bran and fiber slow the breakdown of starch into glucose—thus maintaining a steady blood sugarrather than causing sharp spikes.
  2. Fiber helps lower cholesterol as well as move waste through the digestive tract.
  3. Fiber may also help prevent the formation of small blood clots that can trigger heart attacks or strokes.
  4. Phytochemicals and essential minerals such as magnesium, selenium and copper found in whole grains may protect against some cancers.
