Given that cancer and diabetes runs in my family I try to eat foods that may lower my risk those unwanted health problems. But after giving birth to my son I gained over 100 pounds and I know that the only person to blame was myself. I however did not take the necessary change in my diet when needed. But after a friend of mine which is about the same size as me developed several health problems, I knew it was time for a healthier diet. Now I only buy foods that are whole grain only.Thanks to My Blog Spark I was given the opportunity to review two boxes of General Mills Cereal. Even though I eat cereal very seldom I thought this would be a great opportunity as the cereal was whole grain. I will say that I'm glad that they made their cereal better as now I feel more comfortable letting my kids eat it.
Here is a little information:
Did you know that studies have found that a diet rich in whole grain can be helpful in maintaining a healthy heart, managing weight and may also reduce the risk for diabetes and certain types of cancer?
Only whole grain gives you the vital nutrients from the complete grain. In addition to fiber, whole grain contains antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients important for a healthy diet. General Mills is the only leading cereal company to guarantee whole grain in every box.** Every day, General Mills’ Big G Cereals - which include Cheerios, Fiber One, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Chex, Total and Lucky Charms - deliver 35 million servings of whole grain to Americans. General Mills makes it easy to find whole grains, just look for the white check on the top of every Big G cereal box for your whole grain guarantee.
In a national survey, 91 percent of Americans said they want to incorporate more whole grain foods into their diets. In fact, nine out of 10 people in the U.S. still do not eat the minimum recommended daily amount of whole grain (at least three servings, or 48 grams). Do you? Why not start keeping track of how many whole grains you eat to find out?
In addition to sharing the good news about whole grain, we’re excited to announce some more great news for cereal lovers. Just last month General Mills announced a commitment to further reduce sugar in cereals advertised to kids under 12 to single-digit grams of sugar per serving. The company has already been reducing sugar in cereals while increasing key nutrients, such as calcium and vitamin D, and providing whole grain.
