Despite processed grains’ reputation for causing heart-related health woes, research indicates otherwise.

Researchers used machine learning models to identify more precisely the components in walnuts that may be responsible for potentially reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.

St. Boniface Hospital Executive Director of Research Dr. Grant Pierce (Professor of Physiology and Pathophysiology, University of Manitoba) has received funding approval of $2,806,392 over seven years for his work on Dietary Flaxseed as a Nutritional Intervention for Cardiovascular Disease.

Fiber is an essential part of a healthy diet, yet it is a nutrient that is under-consumed by the majority of Americans.

We know that a high-fiber diet can be a critical heart-healthy lifestyle change for young and middle-aged adults, but it’s one that’s worth the switch. Scientists from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine studied adults between 20 and 59 years old a few years ago and found that those with the highest fiber intake had a significantly lower estimated lifetime risk for cardiovascular disease than those with the lowest fiber intake.
