One of the main ingredients for optimal health is the consumption of grains. Adding this element to your basic diet can improve your health in many ways. Whole wheat bread, brown rice, whole grain pasta, as well as other grains like whole oats or even quinoa (these are grains that are toasted and ground into flour, and they are easily digestible) can help improve your health and make the foods you consume with these ingredients both beneficial and visually appealing. Currently, it is very easy to find the different types of grains we recommend consuming; they were once only available in health stores. To incorporate grains into your diet, we suggest:

1. Start the day with whole grains. If you are among those who enjoy eating cereal in the morning, make sure that the main ingredient is whole wheat. This can also apply to any food during mealtime.
2. Consume whole wheat pasta. If you don't like whole grain foods, you can look for foods that contain half whole wheat flour and half white flour.
3. Consume beans. Beans are not only a source of protein but also slow-absorbing carbohydrates.
