A
new study has found that eating more whole grains may reduce the risk of
premature death.
Researchers
from Harvard T.H.
Chan School of Public Health have
found that the people, who ate 70 grams per day, compared with those who ate
little or no whole grains had a lower risk of dying.
The
previous studies have found that the whole grains may reduce the risk of
cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes and poor gut health among other
conditions.
The
results showed that the people, who ate 70 grams per day, had a 22 percent
lower risk of total mortality, a 23 percent lower risk of CVD mortality and a
20 percent lower risk of cancer mortality.
Department
of Nutrition assistant professor Qi Sun, who is the senior author of this
study, said these findings further support current dietary guidelines that
recommend at least three daily servings (or 48 grams) of whole grains to improve long-term health and
prevent premature death.
The
researchers recommended the people choose foods that are high in whole grain
ingredients such as bran, oatmeal and quinoa that have at least 16 grams per serving,
while reducing consumption of unhealthy refined carbohydrates.
The
study is published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association.
