Why You Should Be Eating 6 Servings of Whole Grains Each Day

Info source:

When the term whole grains is mentioned, what might immediately come to mind are foods such as whole wheat and brown rice. These foods are called whole grains because in contrast with processed or refined grains, whole grains have the germ, endosperm and bran. 

Another significant distinction between whole grains and refined grains is that the former can sprout and grow. 

The American Heart Association recommends 6 servings of whole grains daily in order to lower the risk for cardiovascular diseases. 

Regularly eating this amount of whole grain servings also provides the appropriate amount of calories you need while decreasing your risk for other diseases.
