Live Younger Now!

“Older people who eat more fiber, particularly from whole-grain sources like dark bread, brown rice, and certain breakfast cereals, have less total and belly fat than those who skimp on fiber, according to a study.  Some research has suggested that abnormal fat is a better predictor of chronic disease than body mass index, especially in older adults.  Participants (average age 68) filled out diet questionaries and were tested for body fat.  People who ate more whole grains had trimmer waistlines, on average.”  Diabetes Forecast Jan. 2010
