Go with the grain and protect your heart

SWITCHING from white to brown rice could save you from a heart attack, new research has found.

The grain has been hailed as a new superfood and a potential weapon in the fight against heart disease across the UK.

Brown rice has also been found to fight high cholesterol.

Researchers say the heart-attack fighting qualities of brown rice are found in the layer just under the outer brown layer, which gives the rice its colour.
