Whole wheat is a good source of fibre which promotes healthy digestion and also lowers blood pressure, glucose as well as cholesterol levels. B vitamins are required for the maintenance of body metabolism.
Some antioxidants present in wheat include Ferulic acid, Lignans, Lutein and Phytic acid. Antioxidants play a protective role against diseases and help in the maintenance of a healthy body.
