A new study says that eating more cereal will help you live longer. Read more on the story below!
The study says that eating cereal with more fiber in it may help you live longer. Scientists at the Harvard School of Public Health have been researching the impact of cerealfiber on a diet for a year and they found that people who reported in surveys a diet rich in cereal fiber lived longer than those who chose to eat something else in the morning.
Those who didn’t eat the fiber had a 19% reduced risk of death, compared to those who ate the least amount of cereal fiber. The study also found that high fiber cereal eaters had a 34% lower risk of death from diabetes and a 15% reduced risk of death from cancer. People who ate a lot of whole grains and dietary fiber had a 17% lower risk of all-cause mortality. The daily serving you will need is at least 0.22 grams of cereal fiber per day based on a 1,000 kcal daily diet.
Cereal fiber, “is one “potentially protective component” of a really healthy, premature death-preventing diet.” The study included more than 566,000 AARP members from ages 50 to 71 from six states and two large cities. It excluded individuals who reported extreme-energy intake, which is common, because scientists believe these survey takers are not totally accurate in what they report, so that left them with over 367,000 people.
This study shows that fiber and whole grains have a positive impact on your life if you want to avoid cancers, inflammation and obesity as well. Dietitians suggest you avoid cereal with a lot of sugar intake. Choose the cereal that has “fiber” in the title or list at least 10 grams of fiber per serving on the label such as Fiber One, Kashi GoLean, Mini-Wheats, Cheerios and Honey Bunches of Oats. Oatmeal and whole grains are a great source of fiber too.
Interesting! Now go and eat more fiber cereal!
