Interesting article about smaller waist

According to The Globe and Mail:

"If you’re striving to reduce your waist size, consider swapping refined grains in your diet for whole grains.

According to a study of 2,834 middle-aged Americans, those who consumed the most whole-grain foods had a significantly smaller waist circumference.

Having a large waist circumference – 94 centimetres (37 inches) or greater for men and 80 cm (31.5 inches) or greater for women – increases the likelihood of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, heart attack, stroke, metabolic syndrome and some cancers."

 

This sounds pretty interesting.

My favourite grain (which actually is a seed) quinoa - which is the base of the quinoa diet - appears here too, if you want to read the whole article just click here
