Stock Up On High Fiber Foods

That bowl of bran may do much more than keep you regular, according to research recently published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study, involving more than 3,500 participants over 65, found that those who got fibre from food sources including breads and cereals were 21 per cent less likely to develop cardiovascular disease than those who chose to consume less of these high-fibre foods. Previous studies focussed on fibre and artery health have involved younger age groups.

There are more reasons to stock up too. Fibre from whole grain breads and cereals may also have positive effects on blood cholesterol levels, blood sugar regulation, blood pressure readings and even decrease the risk of developing dangerous blood clots.
