Its Christmas Eve and I’m planning to take a little blogging break for a few days, but I found a study that I wanted to quickly share. Recent research published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association found that eating a daily serving of whole grains could reduce your risk of heart failure by 7%. (Self Magazine, Jan. 2009, p. 70) This extensive study involved more than 14,000 participants over 13 years.
Some easy ways to get whole grains into your diet are switching to whole grain bread, eating brown rice instead of white rice, and snacking on natural granola bars.
If you find it confusing to distinguish which foods are real whole grains, check out this helpful article on MSNBC, “Sifting through the facts about whole grains.”
This week the Total Mind and Body Fitness Blog Carnival 81 featured my “How to Cook Your Veggies” blog. Take a visit when you can. Its under Nutrition.

I’ve been looking for natural ways to reduce my high blood pressure. I recently found I have HBP but felt I’m too young to start taking pills for the rest of my life. I started this web site http://www.lowerbloodpressurewithoutdrugs.com for people like me who are looking for alternative. Check it out.
Thanks
