Quite obviously, a person’s diet can have a great effect on their lifestyle and general wellbeing. It’s therefore very important to be weary of what you consume to ensure good health. At Mirfak, we take great pride in the healthy nature of all our products. Being one of the most trusted seed suppliers Australia wide, we have a range of gluten-free and organically produced products, and all nutritional information can be viewed on our website. In this article, we look at the importance of wheat and different kinds of grains in a diet.

Wheat

Wholegrain wheat is used in various types of bread and cereals and has some serious health benefits both inside and out. Whole grain is an excellent example of a simple ingredient that can be added to many recipes and improve your health. Containing high levels of zinc, vitamins, nutrients, folic acid and iron, there’s much to be gained by leaving white bread on the supermarket shelves and opting for wholegrain varieties instead. With folic acid being a great nutrient for hair and skin, you might find that eating a regular portion of wholegrain wheat with every meal brings visible benefits, as well as helping you stay in good shape.

Cereal is another food that is often overlooked, yet can bring about similar benefits if rich in certain ingredients. Choosing wheat-based cereals that have minimal levels of salt is ideal. These kinds of products can actually be purchased quite inexpensively and you can also buy the ingredients themselves from supermarkets.

Are all Grains Good for You?

There is some evidence to suggest that some forms of grain can cause inflammation and aren’t great for your gut. Many refined grains are acidic and aren’t suitable for gluten intolerant people, however wholegrain alternatives make for a much healthier option that is easy on the stomach. You can’t go wrong with the following grains in your diet:
  • Buckwheat contains a host of handy nutrients that can reduce blood pressure and improve circulation. It has also be shown to improve appetite!
  • High in protein, millet can have the effect of improving kidney function, helping with diarrhoea and cleaning out germs in the mouth.
  • Rice might seem bland at times but it is actually jam packed full of vitamin B can have a positive effect of stress and anxiety. Brown rice – rather than white – is ideal.
  • Oats can benefit the nervous system and contains nutrients that actually break down cholesterol levels.
With many supermarket foods such as ready-meals and microwavable foods containing high levels of salt, fat and other unwanted ingredients, it is certainly worth opting for healthier alternatives that are rich in wholegrain. There are genuine health benefits to be had! For more information, click on our specific product pages and read the nutritional information provided.
