MM #261: Brown rice or Quinoa could add years to your life

According to a Harvard University study, eating just a little over a cup of brown rice or Quinoa per day will cut your risk of a heart attack by as much as 9%. Why brown rice you may ask? Brown rice retains the nutrients that refined grains like white rice and flour don't. Not only will eating whole grains protect your heart, they will also improve bone strength, promote a healthy gut biome and lower cholesterol. Make brown rice, quinoa or whole grain oats part of your daily routine. Doing so, may just add years to your life.
