The combined studies involved 786,076 men and women with 97,867 total deaths, 23,597 deaths from cardiovascular disease, and 37,492 deaths from cancer. Boston, Jun 14 (PTI) Eating at least three servings of whole grains daily such as whole wheat, oats and brown rice may lower your risk of death, a new study suggests. According to researchers, when three servings (48 grammes) were consumed daily the rates declined 20 per cent for total deaths; 25 per cent for cardiovascular deaths; and 14 per cent for cancer-related deaths. Whole grains provide many nutrients, such as fibre, B vitamins, and minerals, which are removed during the refining process, researchers said. Dietary fibre can also make you feel full longer, so you may eat fewer calories.
