Cereals
What to look for:• Whole grain ingredients• Lower amounts of sugar• Higher amounts of fiber
Some of the better options: • Kashi 7 Whole Grain
Nuggets• Post Shredded Wheat• Kellogg’s All Bran• Post Grape Nuts• General Mills Fiber One
*Remember – Many cereal brands have several different products so check the label before buying. Just because one product is a “good” option, doesn’t necessarily mean a similar one is. Know what to look for. Ideally add your own fruit for added “sweetness”, or your own controlled amount of sweetener.*

Whole Grain Snack Foods
Chips/Crackers and other high carbohydrate snack foods should be used in moderation.
- Keep in mind the “bang for your buck” philosophy. Too many empty calories and simple carbohydrates without much nutritional benefit leads to weight gain and inflammation.
In the event you are choosing a food like this look for the following:• Few ingredients• Whole grain ingredients• Lower amounts of added sugar and sodium• A product without or with lower amounts of hydrogenated and
partially hydrogenated oils (saturated and trans fats)
*A whole grain triscuit cracker might be an example*

We do need Carbohydrates. Carbs have glucose which provides energy to
our muscles, tissues, and brain. Carbs are found in foods derived from plants
and dairy.
Carbohydrates
![Page 9: TAKE 3 CALMING BREATHS Nutrition Class 5: Fiber and Whole Grains](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d8c5503460f94a73dbe/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Simple Carbohydrates have single or double sugar molecules bound together, allowing for quicker digestion and entrance into the blood stream and cells.
Complex Carbohydrates(Also referred to as starches) have 3 or more sugar molecules bound together, allowing for slower digestion.
Foods often contain a combination of the two.
Simple vs Complex

All grains begin as whole grains.In their natural state growing in the fields, whole grains are the entire seed of a plant. This seed (which industry calls “kernel”) is made up of three key parts: The bran, the germ and the endosperm.
![Page 14: TAKE 3 CALMING BREATHS Nutrition Class 5: Fiber and Whole Grains](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d8c5503460f94a73dbe/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What happens when a grain is refined?
Whole grains contain all three parts of the kernel. Refining
normally removes the bran and the germ, leaving only the endosperm. Without the
bran and germ, about 25% of a grain’s protein is lost,
along with at least seventeen key nutrients.

Aids in digestion by adding bulk and “roughage”. Parts of plant foods that your body can’t
digest or absorb. It passes relatively intact through your stomach, small intestine, colon, and out of your body.
Helps maintain a healthy weight.
Lowers risk for diabetes and heart disease.

Soluble fiber. This type of fiber dissolves in water to form a gel-like material. It can help lower blood cholesterol and glucose levels. Found in oats, peas, beans, grains, rye, apples,
citrus fruits, carrots, and barley.
Insoluble fiber. This type of fiber promotes the movement of material through your digestive system and increases stool bulk, to aid with constipation or irregular stools. Found in fruits and vegetables such as
cauliflower, green beans and potatoes, Whole-wheat flour, wheat bran, nuts, and beans.
Most foods have a combination of soluble and insoluble fiber.
Soluble vs. Insoluble Fiber

How much fiber, in grams, do you think the average American gets in a day?
What do you think the daily recommendation for fiber is? Women? Men?
Increase fiber in your diet gradually to ease digestive discomfort
This is just a minimum recommendation; this amount can be exceeded.
What’s your guess?

Fiber is best through whole foods in your diet – because they also provide many other health benefits.
Fiber supplements come in a wide variety of forms and flavors -- from powders, oils, and wafers to capsules and chewable tablets. They are usually made from “functional” fibers, which is fiber that is isolated or extracted from plants or animals. Too much can cause loose stools, abdominal discomfort, gas, and bloating. Possible drug interactions – talk with your doctor before taking.
Psyllium – Effective in treating constipation and the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.
Best to EAT the FOOD rather than take supplements.
