Fiber-Rich foods cut heart disease risk

Fiber-Rich foods cut heart disease risk

Boosting the amount of fiber in your diet may lower your risk for heart disease,
a new study has found.With so much controversy causing many to avoid
 carbohydrates and grains, this new study reassures of the importance of fiber
 in the prevention of cardiovascular disease.  
The researchers analysed data from various countries to assess different kinds of fiber intake from sources such as whole grains, potato skins, legumes, nuts, and oats etc. The more fiber people consumed, the lower was their risk of heart disease. Fiber through cereals reduces the risk of coronary heart disease more than risk of cardiovascular disease.
