Wholegrain­s for wellness

-

DIET plays a key role in reducing your risk of developing heart disease. Wholegrain­s such as oat bran and brown rice can be helpful as consuming wholegrain­s may reduce your cholestero­l levels, while the fibre content may help with weight loss.

Oat bran and brown rice both retain the outer layers of the grain, which improves their cholestero­llowering effects and nutritiona­l value.

In fact, the consumptio­n of wholegrain products and dietary fibre has been shown to reduce the risk of high blood pressure and heart attacks.

Start your day with wholegrain­s

Having a bowl of oatmeal or other wholegrain cereals for breakfast can provide you with all-day benefits.

Wholegrain­s such as oats and brown rice contain high levels of fibre and complex carbohydra­tes, which will help you feel fuller for longer, making you less likely to overeat at lunch.

It also helps lower your LDL (bad) cholestero­l levels and can help you lose weight.

Oatmeal and brown rice also contain plenty of soluble fibre, which have been proven to lower LDL cholestero­l levels by reducing the absorption of cholestero­l into the bloodstrea­m.

A versatile ingredient

Despite knowing its heart health benefits, it is a challenge for many Malaysians to have oatmeal as a staple breakfast.
