Answer:
Explanation:
The weight may be an important indicator of risk for diabetes, high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol.
Cereals have more soluble fibre, especially cereal with psyllium.
Grains (cereal and/or cereal grains) are the seeds or fruits of various plants in the grass family.
They include wheat, corn, rice, barley, oats, millet, rye, sorghum, and triticale.
Niacin, thiamin and riboflavin are the vitamins most commonly added to cereals. Cereal grains are great source of vitamin B group, vitamin E and minerals. The most important minerals are iron, zinc, magnesium and phosphorus. In a large number of dietary guidelines, cereal and legumes are recommended for consumption on a daily basis.
Recent studies show that there is a string link between a diet rich in wholegrains and lower body mass index (BMI), waist circumference and general overweight. The diet abundant in legumes and wholegrains may reduce weight gains as well. Thus, overweight and obesity are major features of metabolic syndrome.
Food rich in cereals and legumes may protect against overweight and metabolic syndrome. Higher fibre intake has an effect on gastric emptying, postprandial glycemia and insulinemia.
The definition of the wholegrain means it is a wholegrain food product that contain ≥25% wholegrain content or bran by weight. FDA defines it as food that needs to consist of >51% by weight of wholegrain in order to be produced as healthy food.
In certain studies, it has been noted a link between a small increase in waist circumference and refined grains. The alpha-amylase in legumes may have a role in the gastrointestinal digestion.
