Research from food scientists at Harvard University today has revealed that eating a diet rich in whole grain foods could hold the key to a longer and healthier life.
The results of the study revealed that those who ate a bigger amount of whole grain foods (over 70 grams per day) had a significantly lower risk of dying during the period the study was taking place.

What are the benefits of a high fibre diet containing whole grain oats?
Whole grain oats provide a full package of benefits, which you will not find within refined grains which are processed and stripped of some valuable vitamins and minerals.
The researchers note that a diet which is high in both fiber and whole grains may lower cholesterol production, lower glucose levels and decrease the feelings of hunger, all of which can exacerbate existing health problems.
Tom Mercer, founder and managing director of MOMA Foods explains, “Whole grains should always be part of a healthy diet and lifestyle, however they are not the only way to increase longevity.
“A healthy and balanced lifestyle (containing whole grains) should always be promoted”
