DESCRIPTION: The consumption of three portions of whole grains a day appears as powerful as high blood pressure medications in alleviating hypertension. In my live 2012 presentation Uprooting the Leading Causes of Death (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/uprooting-the-leading-causes-of-death/) I address the role diet may play in preventing, treating, and even reversing our top 15 killers, including high blood pressure. More on refined versus whole grains can be found in Great Grain Robbery (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/great-grain-robbery/) and Is White Bread Good For You? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-white-bread-good-for-you/). Whole grains may in fact extend our lifespan (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/what-women-should-eat-to-live-longer/). What about the phytates in whole grains? See New Mineral Absorption Enhancers Found (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/new-mineral-absorption-enhancers-found/). And how can we make our oatmeal even healthier? See Antioxidants in a Pinch (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/antioxidants-in-a-pinch/).
Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/whole-grains-may-work-as-well-as-drugs/ and he’ll try to answer it!
