WHAT ARE WHOLE GRAINS ANY WAY?

We keep harping the fact that all our products are produced using wholegrains. It is important to spread awareness on what wholegrain actually is. The article is referenced from Harvard School Of Public Health. This is one of the excellent articles I have come across that explains in a very simple and easy to read terms.

Whole grains offer a “complete package” of health benefits, unlike refined grains, which are stripped of valuable nutrients in the refining process.

All whole grain kernels contain three parts: the bran, germ, and endosperm. These components have various effects on our bodies:

• Bran and fiber slow the breakdown of starch into glucose—thus maintaining a steady blood sugar rather than causing sharp spikes.

• Fiber helps lower cholesterol as well as move waste through the digestive tract.

• Fiber may also help prevent the formation of small blood clots that can trigger heart attacks or strokes.

• Phytochemicals and essential minerals such as magnesium, selenium and copper found in whole grains may protect against some cancers.

Let us avoid highly processed grains, refined flour as much as we can. These modern practices do much harm to the health and wellbeing. We have choice to eat what is healthy.

Please do not ever believe sugary things are the only tasty things in the world. Life is much more valuable and we all deserve high quality lifestyle. It cannot happen without healthy food habits.
