Change your usual rice or pandesal breakfast for a whole-grain cereal. A new US study has found that those who eat this kind of cereal were 28 percent less likely to develop heart failure than those who never ate a whole-grain meal.
The Physician’s Health Study was conducted on nearly 10,500 doctors from 1982 to 2006. Doctors who ate whole-grain cereal two to six times a week had a 22 percent reduced risk of heart failure, while those who ate whole-grain cereal up to once a week had a 14 percent reduced risk. In the study, breakfast cereals were considered whole-grain if they contained at least 25 percent oat or bran content.
“the significant health benefits of whole-grain cereal are not just for kids but also for adults. A whole-grain, high-fiber breakfast may lower blood pressure and bad cholesterol and prevent heart attacks,” said Dr. Luc Diousse, the study’s lead author and assistant professor of Medicine in the division of aging at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston.
