| Diabetics: One whole grain may reduce your cardiovascular risk by up to 64 percent 2010-06-03 | |
If you‘ve got diabetes, eating just this one type of whole grain every day may add years to your life. In fact, in a recent analysis, women who ate the most of this whole grain significantly reduced their risk of dying from cardiovascular disease (compared to women who ate none of it).
It‘s no secret that cardiovascular disease is a huge problem for men and women with diabetes. In fact, if you‘ve got diabetes, you run two to three times the risk of cardiovascular disease and premature death compared to the general population. But one whole grain can help. And that‘s bran. According to the recent study, women who ate at least 10 grams of bran every day reduced their risk of death (from all causes) by 55 percent compared to non-bran eaters. They also reduced their risk of cardiovascular death by 64 percent (again, compared to non-bran eaters). Bottom line? Whole grains are good. But bran‘s the best, when it comes to diabetics. So make sure to get plenty of it into your diet if you suffer from high blood sugar. Sprinkle whole bran flakes onto your yogurt. Eat breads made with whole bran. Add bran to your favorite whole wheat pancakes. You can even throw it into your favorite fruit smoothie! Just make sure to get 10 grams of it a day.
