St. Ignatius Seniors: Smart driving course is Friday

Whole grains provide fiber, iron and B vitamins. Fiber helps with digestion and heart health. It also promotes a sense of fullness and helps prevent constipation. 

B vitamins provide energy, and are essential for metabolism, brain function and cell repair. Refined grains such as white rice and white flour lose some of these nutrients. Look for “100% Whole Grain” on the label. Whole-wheat bread, brown rice, oatmeal and popcorn are good whole-grain choices, according to the “Heart Health for Older Americans” article by the Montana Department of Public Health & Human Services.
