Women - Go Get Those Whole Grains
The researchers of the study suspect it's the nutrients and phytochemicals in whole grains that reduce the damaging effects that chronic inflammation has on the body. [American Journal of Clinical Nutrition June 2007]
How do I like whole grains?...let me count the ways!
In the morning I get whole grain bread (if that's what I'm fixing) or whole grain cereal or whole wheat bagels. And if I'm making coffee cake of muffins, I always use at least half whole wheat flour.
For lunch or dinner I enjoy multigrain tortillas or corn tortillas, whole wheat blend or 100% whole wheat pasta, whole grain bread and bread products and brown rice - depending. About the only time I don't have whole grain bread is when I'm having sourdough bread in a restaurant or something. But in the supermarkets here, I can buy 9-grain sourdough sliced bread, which is what we do.
Do you get 7 servings of whole grains a week?

WOW. That is quite a statistic. I will make sure my wife and female patients get this info. I love whole grain pasta with fat free and salt free sauce. Also, whole wheat cereal like Post Shredded Wheat, which has no salt...with rice milk and fruit. I recommend buying salt free bread to my patients also, since there are usually about 100 mg salt per slice...you get used to the taste.
I eat 2 pieces of whole grain toast with some butter almost every morning. And, to me most whole grain pastas taste just about the same as regular pasta made from enriched flour.
fmmlaI have hypertension and am searching for no-salt added tortillas (multi-grain)or if they are not sold maybe a recipe.
