Recent events showed that elite human biology and work ethic can outperform laboratory-grown enhancements.

If you've been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, one of your first concerns may be about diet changes. But if you were worried about cutting out bread and pasta entirely, there's good news: you can still enjoy foods made with grains, you just need to swap to whole grains!

Fiber slows digestion and the absorption of carbohydrates and may not raise your blood sugar as quickly as refined grains. And because whole grains help you feel fuller for longer, they can help you manage your weight.

The easiest way to eat more whole grains is to make a few switches in your diet, such as swapping out white bread and rice for whole wheat bread and brown rice. Learn more about whole grain options and how many servings you should get a day by tapping the link in our bio.
