Their findings were published in\u00a0<em>BMJ<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The study found that for every additional 10 grams per day of fiber in someone\u2019s diet there is a 10 percent reduction in their risk of developing colorectal cancer. The authors concluded, \u201cA high intake of dietary fibre, in particular, cereal fiber and whole grains, was associated with a reduced risk of colorectal cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: rgb(48, 49, 51);\">Blood pressure<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An article published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition\u00a0concluded that a diet  plenty of whole-grains (such as oats or wholemeal bread) is just as effective as taking anti-hypertensive medication in lowering blood pressure.<\/p>\n<p>They found that three portions per day can\u201dsignificantly reduce cardiovascular disease risk in middle-aged people mainly through blood pressure-lowering mechanisms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Digestion and obesity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to a wide-reaching collection of scientific reviews published in the October 2014 supplement issue of the British Journal of Nutrition, oats may play an important role in improving satiety (the feeling of fullness), diet quality, and digestive, cardiovascular, and general metabolic health.<\/p>\n<p>Whole grains are often recommended for their beneficial effects on the gastrointestinal tract. The researchers suggest potential health effects ranging from improved immune health to reducing the risk of obesity\u00a0and chronic disease.<\/p>\n<p>According to the supplement, epidemiological evidence suggests that regular consumption of whole-grain foods may be correlated with lower body mass index (BMI). The researchers state that eating oats appears to help reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness.<\/p>\n<p>Also, oats and their fiber  help keep the gastrointestinal tract running smoothly; they can help reduce constipation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Antioxidants in oats<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Oats contain a range of molecules that act as antioxidants; this includes avenanthramides, which are polyphenols. Avenanthramides may play a role in keeping blood pressure low by increasing nitric oxide production. They could also have anti-inflammatory and anti-itching\u00a0properties when applied topically to the skin.<\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: Healthtalkes (via  Opera<br \/>News )<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
