Eating wholegrains every day can lower cholesterol and blood pressure

Consuming between four and six portions of wholegrain food each day was shown by a large study to considerably lower the chances of experiencing a heart attack or stroke. This diet helps lower body weight, blood pressure, and bad cholesterol, with the greatest benefits seen at 60 to 100 grams per day. Examples of wholegrain items frequently consumed are oats, brown rice, and wholemeal bread.
