Consume more whole grains reduce your risk of premature death, claims a new study. And it fiber that makes the difference.
Researchers explain that not only fiber benefits heart, prevents heart attacks, but fiber from whole grains lowers the risk of respiratory diseases, like pneumonia and chronic bronchitis, and other infectious diseases.
In addition to the fiber lists the American Heart Association whole grains as a good source of iron, which carries oxygen in the blood and selenium, known that to strengthen the immune system.
Writing in the archives of internal medicine, scientists found that fiber from whole grains – not fruits and vegetables – had the biggest impact on lowering death risk; even cancer. Research data on more than 500,000 AARP members; Survey respondents about their eating habits over a period of nine years.
The findings revealed people who ate the most fiber (30 grams per day for men and 25 grams per day for women) 22% were probably study compared to people that die for any reason during the eating the least amount of dietary fiber (13 grams per day for men and 11 grams per day for women).
For certain diseases men who consume a diet rich in fibre had a 24% lower risk of dying from heart disease, 31% lower risk of dying from respiratory, 56% lower risk of an infectious disease to die and were 17% less likely die of cancer. The reduction of risk were similar for women.
Are, but the scientists not sure why high fiber intake lower death risk of respiratory and infectious diseases was connected. It could be fiber's anti-inflammatory properties, but more research is needed.
The US Centers for disease control and prevention include whole grains in his list of foods for maintaining a healthy weight; together with fruit, low fat and fat-free dairy products, fish and vegetables lean poultry and meat.
