Wheatberries - A Whole Grain to Make You Healthy
As the saying goes, you are what you eat. Wheatberries are one of the most nutrient dense food sources on the planet. The problem with today’s society is most of the wheat products you buy at the grocery store are stripped of most of their nutrients. Here at Heartland Grainery we believe in eating food as it comes from the ground. That means eating wheat that is packed with nutrition and anti-oxidants which leads to better health and longevity.
Wheat lowers the risk of diabetes
Whole wheat has a low glycemic index, meaning it does not cause a large increase in blood sugar. Conusming foods that have a low glycemic index help regulate blood sugar and insulin secretion and therefore decrease the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Wheat reduces LDL cholesterol
While HDL cholesterol is good for you, LDL cholesterol is bad. Eating a diet rich in nutritious grains such as wheatberries is clinically proven to lower LDL cholesterol and reduce your risk of high cholesterol, high blood pressure and heart disease.
