My mom Ruthie would have Shredded Wheat for breakfast a couple of times a week, she ate a very healthy diet and lived to 101. My brothers went for the sugary stuff, Lucky Charms comes to mind. However, one healthy cereal that my older bros would ask for on some rare occasions was Wheaties. The primary reason that they would ask for it was because it was, and still remains, the breakfast of champions. There were always photos of athletes on the front of the box who excelled in their sport. Eat Wheaties and you will be a champion and a healthy human. Truth be told my brothers thought it tasted like cardboard and would always add sugar, and sliced bananas. My mom won round one of the cereal wars primarily because Wheaties contains fiber, and my brothers tolerated it because of the slogan, a teaspoon of sugar and the sports connection. The American Heart Association recommends we should have between 25-30 grams of fiber per day, yet most of us are barely get half of that (we average 15 grams for the entire day). The health benefits of consuming fiber rich foods have been known for decades, and High-fiber foods may also make people feel full sooner, and for longer, which helps curb overeating and weight gain. Courtney gives some great info on how to include fiber in your diet and the benefits it gives. For more info go to courtneygravenese.com, follow her on Instagram @clgwellness.
