Can wheat support heart health?
Every hour 12 Canadians over the age of 20 die from heart disease.
Let’s change that statistic. Studies show that 8 in 10 cases of heart disease and stroke are preventable through healthy lifestyle behaviours.
We know that a healthy dietary pattern plays a key role in reducing the risk of heart disease. Eating a diet rich in whole grains and dietary fibre, for example, can help decrease blood pressure, preventing our heart from working harder than it needs to pump blood around our bodies.
Looking for more info on heart health and wheat nutrition? We have a handout for that!
