Whole grains are widely hyped up to be the panacea for good health. There is some evidence that regular consumption of whole grains can lead to lowering of blood pressure and decrease blood sugars. Whole grains are foods that have not been processed and retain their fiber and bran. These foods are usually rich in potassium fiber, magnesium and a variety of other minerals.
Evidence indicates that people who eat whole grains generally have lower blood pressure, and low incidence of diabetes. The only thing about whole grains is that they are not very palatable. The American Dietary guidelines insist that everyone eat about 90 grs of whole grains daily. Alternatively, this amounts to 3-4 slices of whole wheat bread.
