BROWN RICE

OK, it’s a health food staple and a lot of people still see it as a bit hippyish, but brown rice has benefits for heart health. It is mostly the high fibre content that makes brown rice useful. It helps move cholesterol out of the digestive tract, reducing the amount absorbed into the bloodstream. It also contains a compound known as gamma-oryzanol, that is linked with reducing levels of bad (LDL) cholesterol.

BULGAR WHEAT

The fibre content of bulgar wheat makes it an ideal ingredient for digestive and heart health, as high-fibre foods will help remove cholesterol from the digestive tract before it can be absorbed. There are also a lot of B vitamins and magnesium in bulgar wheat, which have a soothing and relaxing effect. This may have knock-on effects for stress-induced high blood pressure, for example. Magnesium also works against calcium in smooth muscle, aiding relaxation and therefore vasodilation.
