Stroke Association statement on the benefits of a diet rich in wholegrains
Harvard researchers say the Government should issue new public health advice urging us to eat more wholegrains, following new research findings which suggest that extra portions of wholegrain foods reduce risk of death by seven per cent
Commenting on the study, Dr Shamim Quadir, Research Communications Manager at the Stroke Association, said: “It is well known that eating a balanced diet that is high in wholegrain foods is beneficial to your health. This latest study from the US provides further evidence to support this argument. Eating a balanced diet, getting enough exercise, and getting your blood pressure checked regularly are all important steps to reduce your risk of having a stroke. If you are at all concerned about your risk of stroke, talk to your GP.”
