Whole Grains - A Good Addition to Your Diet For Most

Whole grains like wheat, spelt and rice in their whole, unprocessed forms provide B vitamins in abundance, as well as vitamin E, magnesium, zinc, iron and more. These nutrients are for the most part destroyed or gotten rid of when these grains are processed and refined. Some of them are consequently added back in, but not usually in their natural form and this can create problems. Also, if you eat a lot of whole grains that have not been properly prepared, they can bind up with the phytates and block your absorption of various minerals.
