In the British Medical Journal article published in 2011, researchers analyzed several previous studies and determined that whole grains reduce the risk of colorectal cancer. People enjoying three servings of whole grains a day ? that?s ? cup of oatmeal, a slice of good bread, or a ? cup of brown rice ? also enjoy a 17% reduction in risk of the development of colon cancer.
Whole grain is high in fiber, which helps to move the digestive process along and sweep any carcinogens out of the colon quicker. In addition, fiber molecules are excellent at binding carcinogens and hormones in food that would otherwise be absorbed if the grain were processed and the beneficial fiber removed.
Whole grains are also excellent sources of non-inflamatory protein, healthy omega-3 fats and complex carbohydrates. A skimpy salad feels like a full-on dinner when it?s served over rice or wrapped into a multi-grain tortilla. So find some yummy whole grain foods that you enjoy and live it up with that happy, healthy colon.
