Whole Grains May Help Keep Blood Pressure in Check
Blood pressure could be reduced by eating more whole-grain cereals that retain the bran and germ usually removed during processing, according to a study of 50,000 middle-aged and older adults.
The men in the top fifth of whole grain consumption, who averaged about 52 grams daily, were 19 percent less likely than the men in the bottom fifth, who ate an average of about 3 grams of whole grains daily, to develop hypertension over the course of 18 years.
