| Whole grains: Hearty options for a healthy heart |
| You've probably heard that whole grains are good for you, but do you know why? These unrefined grains are nutrient-dense because their bran and germ remain intact through the production process. Whole grains are good sources of cholesterol-reducing fiber, as well as selenium, potassium and magnesium. Another bonus? Grains are easy to cook in large quantities, so you can make a big batch and add it to various meals throughout the week! |

You may feel full after eating 1 cup of either fruit, but the calorie difference is astounding!
