One Mom's Story
When I asked my doctor what simple change I could make in my diet to improve my health, she said, “Switch to whole‐grain versions of foods like bread, cereal, pasta, and crackers. Whole grains will help your family have a healthy heart and body weight and better digestion. They also can help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. That means better overall health for the whole family.” So, I started thinking about the grains my family eats, especially the kids.
I decided it was worth it to make a few small changes for our health. Now I’m buying oatmeal, brown rice, whole‐grain cereals and 100% whole‐grain bread. To be honest, making the switch was easier than I thought. It took a little time, but now we are all enjoying the goodness of whole grains.
