🤔🌾 Did you know our fresh milled flour and our fresh milled ancient grain loaves are 100% whole grain?? I thought I would share with yall some reading I have been doing this week!
“Why eat whole grains?
Whole grain foods are rich in complex carbohydrates, including dietary fiber, and contain important vitamins and minerals and other components that appear to play a role in keeping us healthy.
Whole-grain foods are important sources of both soluble and insoluble dietary fiber. Studies suggest that eating more soluble fiber may reduce blood cholesterol levels. Lower blood cholesterol levels may help reduce the risk of heart disease.
Insoluble dietary fiber keeps foods moving through your system, helping to prevent constipation. It may prevent gastrointestinal disorders and certain types of cancer.
Whole-grain foods are also important sources of antioxidant nutrients, including vitamin E and selenium. Antioxidant nutrients may help protect against diseases such as cancer, heart disease, cataracts and reduce some of the effects of aging. Whole-grain foods also supply minerals such as zinc, copper, iron and vitamins B6, A and E.”
