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.
