I’ll just bet you didn’t know all the good things available in the grains that should be a part of your diet.
Whole grains are an important source of many nutrients including dietary fiber, B-vitamins, and minerals.

• Dietary Fiber – Can help reduce blood cholesterol levels and may lower risk of heart disease.
• B-vitamins – Essential for a healthy nervous system. They also help the body release energy from protein, fat, and carbohydrates.
• Iron – Many grain foods are fortified with iron which is used to carry oxygen to the blood.
• Magnesium – A mineral used in building bones and releasing energy from muscles.
• Selenium – Important for a healthy immune system.
