Everything you need to know about whole grains

Written by Jill Castle, MS, RDN

Benefits of whole grains

Whole grains have many long and short term benefits.

Whole grains not only help you feel fuller longer (preventing excessive snacking and overeating), they can help prevent long-term health issues like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. That’s why foods like whole wheat bread, cereal, and brown rice are important parts of a healthy diet for your little one.
