Dr Qi Sun, assistant professor in public health at Harvard University said: “Based on the solid evidence from this meta-analysis and numerous previous studies that collectively document beneficial effects of whole grains, I think healthcare providers should unanimously recommend whole grain consumption to the general population as well as to patients with certain diseases to help achieve better health and perhaps reduce death.”
Foods which are high in whole grains include bran, oatmeal and quinoa. They contain a number of nutrients including protein, fibre, iron and folic acid.
