SINGAPORE, September 2009 – Do you know that 2 slices of Gardenia Fine Grain Wholemeal Bread is equivalent to 1 serving of whole grains?
Whole grains are rich in beneficial phytochemicals and antioxidants, and a vital source of Vitamins B, E, magnesium, iron and fibre. They have been proven to reduce risks of chronic diseases by decreasing cholesterol levels, blood pressure and blood coagulation, and by regulating blood glucose for those who are grappling with diabetes or weight problems.
An easy way to increase your intake of whole grain is to replace some of your refined-grain products. Start your day on the right foot by replacing a slice or two of your white bread with Gardenia’s Fine Grain Wholemeal Bread for your breakfast, and you’re on your way to a more balanced and healthy diet!
For smaller families or those who prefer to consume their bread fresh daily, Gardenia has also come up with a smaller loaf, the Gardenia Junior Fine Grain Wholemeal Bread. The Junior loaf comes in thick slices which makes it easier to prepare a hearty sandwich chockfull of healthy grains!
Both Gardenia Fine Grain Wholemeal Bread and Gardenia Junior Fine Grain Wholemeal Bread have been certified with the new Healthier Choice Symbol ‘Higher in Whole Grains’ by the Health Promotion Board as part of their campaign to raise awareness of the health benefits of whole grains.
