Wheat is good for the heart

The finding comes from a large study of health professionals at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Bread is made is made from wheat ?

Bread are made from wheat, or a combination of wheat and other grains.

In Psalms 104 :15 “and wine to gladden the heart of man, oil to make his face shine and bread to strengthen man’s heart.

Many whole grains are good sources of dietary fiber, which we all need. Most refined grains contain little or no fiber. Dietary fiber can help you improve blood cholesterol levels and lower your risk of heart disease, stroke, obesity and even type 2 diabetes.

Studies have suggested a 20% to 30% decrease in the risk of heart disease when people eat three or more servings of whole-grain foods daily, writes lead researcher Majken K. Jensen, PhD, an epidemiologist with Harvard’s School of Public Health.

Jensen and her colleagues analyzed 14 years’ worth of diet and health records from more than 27,000 men aged 40 to 75.

Cold breakfast cereal was the main source of whole grains. Men got 33% of their whole grains via cold breakfast cereals; 18% came from brown rice, 17% from dark bread, and 15% from cooked oats.

In the study, men with the highest daily intake of whole grain (about 40 grams) cut heart disease risk by almost 20% compared with men who on average ate about 3 grams per day.

In addition, 11 grams of bran daily also reduced heart disease risk. The risk reduction was 30% compared with men who added no bran to their diet. While few men in the study ate wheat germ, researchers believe it offers health benefits, writes Jensen.

Why are whole grains the miracle ingredient? Whole grains have three parts: bran, germ, and the starchy endosperm. Refined grains are stripped of bran and germ. This takes away nearly all the fiber and nutrients and leaves behind nearly all the calories.

In Genesis 3:19 “By the sweat of your face you shall eat BREAD…”

“Among wheat’s greatest benefits, according to the research, is fiber from the bran and other grain parts,” he explained. “Diets in industrialized countries are generally deficient in such fiber, which helps to regulate digestion and promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.”

A new, exhaustive review of recent scientific studies on cereal grains and health has shown that gluten- or wheat-free diets are not inherently healthier for the general populace and may actually put individuals at risk of dietary deficiencies.Based on a recent, special compilation of 12 reports published in the scientific journal Cereal Foods World during 2014-2017, eating whole grains is actually beneficial for brain health and associated with reduced risk of diverse types of cancer, coronary disease, diabetes, hypertension, obesity and overall mortality.

In Matrhew 4:4 “Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”
