A new study has said that switching to brown rice or oatmeal from refined grains may be as good as a 30-minute brisk walk to help speed up weight loss. The study was conducted by researchers from the Tufts University in the US.
Say the researchers, Many previous studies have suggested benefits of whole grains and dietary fibre on chronic disease risk. This study helps to quantify how whole grains and fibre work to benefit weight management and lend credibility to previously reported associations between increased whole grains and fibre consumption, lower body weight and better health. We provided all food to ensure that the composition of the diets differed only in grain source. The extra calories lost by those who ate whole grains were equivalent of a brisk 30 min walk - or enjoying an extra small cookie every day in
terms of its impact.
The study was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
