Dr. Oz Promotes Whole Grains on Oprah
Dr. Oz says that eating whole grains isn't
just the latest craze-they offer multiple
benefits to your health. He notes that whole
grains can reduce cholesterol and high blood
pressure and even help prevent heart disease,
cancer, and diabetes. He explains that
whole grains help flush fat and cholesterol
out of your system and provide powerful
antioxidants that help you stay healthier,
look younger and live longer.
Dr. Oz says when you're looking at bread
labels, here's
one thing to keep in mind to maximize your
family's health. It's got to say '100
percent whole grain.' If it doesn't say 100
percent, it's not." Unfortunately,
many foods are only posing as rich in whole
grains. Whole grains should be the first or
second ingredient listed.
Dr. Oz urges you to eat one slice of 100
percent whole grain bread lightly dipped in
non-chemically processed extra virgin olive
oil before every dinner.
He says this easy, yet powerful,
combination will reduce the amount of food
you'll eat at dinner and keep you fuller for
longer amounts of time. "Dinner's our big
meal where we make most of our mistakes," he
says. These mistakes can lead to serious
consequences, like heart attack or diabetes.
Eating whole wheat bread and olive oil can
reduce your risk for both, Dr. Oz says. "And
you'll probably lose weight to boot."
At Great Harvest we are delighted that
whole grains are getting the publicity
they deserve. We are proud to offer the BEST
whole grains anywhere. We offer 100% whole
grain breads every day. Since our wheat is
specially selected and
ground fresh daily on a stone mill, it
contains the most nutrients and best taste of
any whole wheat.
Also, we use no preservatives or artificial
ingredients. Plus our bread stays fresh 7-10 days
without any preservatives.
