Wholegrains ease metabolic syndrome, further evidence
Daily helpings of brown rice, wholegrain bread and cereals could reduce the risk of developing the increasingly common health condition of type 2 diabetes.
Researchers at the US government science agency Agriculture Research Service (ARS) say the results from a study of over 2000 people suggest at least three or more servings of wholegrain foods each day could reduce chances of developing ‘metabolic syndrome.’
Metabolic syndrome is a condition marked by a combination of abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, poor blood sugar control, low HDL "good" cholesterol and high blood fats. The constellation of health conditions increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
