by Angel R. Perpetual Student in Digital Nomad

For breakfast in particular - or as an integral part of any meal or snack of the day, whole grains bring great benefits to our body.

Promoted by nutritionists, stores, and numerous commercials, you might be wondering "why are these whole grains so special"?
And what's the difference between whole wheat and "white" wheat products, made from refined grains?

We want to answer exactly these questions here and that's why we came up with seven reasons to convince you to choose the healthier ones.

1. Whole grains have more nutrients;

2. Whole grains have a lot of fiber;

3. Whole grains are a reliable partner for weight loss;

4. One bowl of whole grains a day keeps diabetes away [100g];

5. Easier digestion with whole grains;

6. Whole grains reduce the risk of cancer;

7. Keep your heart healthy with whole grains

Cardiovascular disease - the leading cause of death worldwide - is less likely to occur in people who eat whole grains. A 10-year study of more than 17,000 volunteers found that adults who take most of their complex carbohydrates from whole grains are up to 47% less likely to develop heart disease.

Instead of closing

Take what’s most important from the examples above: Include more whole grains in your daily diet - whether you’re making it with bread, breakfast cereals, favorite pastries, or snacks to fool your appetite between meals. It can only do you good!
