Whole Grains are rich in phytochemicals and antioxidants, which help to protect against coronary heart disease, certain cancers, and diabetes. Studies have shown people who eat more whole grains tend to have a healthier heart. Make whole grains an important part of every meal. Make sure you're really getting whole grains. The words stone-ground, multi-grain, 100% whole wheat," and check the ingredients to make sure each grain listed is specified as whole grain. Some good sources of whole grains are dark breads, whole wheat, brown rice, oatmeal, barley, millet, toasted wheat cereals. avoid refined grains such as bread, pastas, and breakfast cereals that are not whole grain.

Thanks for the information . I agree with the fact that Whole Grains are much healthier .
In fact , I started eating less of Bread (They call it Brown Bread;still it is Refined one !! ) a few months back . Now ; I do not feel awkward feeling in my stomcah ;which I used to feel a few months back.
Even Pizzas and Burgers are no good .
