A diet rich in whole grains will keep you lean and healthy. Whole grains are packed with anti-oxidants, phytoestrogens and phytosterols which combined with their high fiber quality keeps the coronary diseases at bay. Also, soluble fiber helps in lowering high cholesterol and maintaining a healthy level. Grains containing soluble fiber are oatmeal and barley. In 1997, The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) agreed that products with oatmeal and bran (when accompanied with a low-fat diet) are beneficial for cardiac health. You can add oatmeal in your diet most popularly through porridges or even home-made granola bars.
