Come see us Saturday 9-4-21 @ Rabbit Valley Farmer's Market to get your FRESH GROUND Whole Wheat Waffles!!!!!! Wheat Facts
Did You know that eating whole grains protects us in these 5 ways:
1) Grains are low on the food chain, so they are less likely to contain the concentration of contaminants that are found in foods at the top of the food chain, such as meats and large fish.
2) The high fiber content and phytates found in whole grains are powerful chelators of toxic substances. Both fiber and phytic acid can bind with toxins, such as heavy metals, and remove them from the body through the natural elimination process.
3) The bulking factor of the abundant fiber found in whole grains shortens the transit time of waste from the bowels, therefore it hastens the removal of these toxins from the body.
4) Being neither very acid nor very alkaline, whole grains help us to maintain a more neutral pH range, which has been found to increase our resistance to radiation.
5) Whole grains provide vitamin B6, which is a necessary nutrient for a healthy thymus gland, a key player in healthy immune function. In addition, the high calcium content in whole grains provides protection against the uptake of radioactive strontium. Whole grains are one of the riches food sources of vitamin E and selenium which, of course, are invaluable for preventing cellular damage caused by free radicals.
