A whole grain rich diet improves digestive health
Importance of bowel health
The importance of a healthy digestive system is often forgotten amongst the constant stream of health warnings and quick fix cures. However, bowel cancer is the second most common cancer in Australia, affecting many men and women over the age of 50.
Studies have proven that a wholegrain rich diet can significantly improve digestive health and reduce the risk of colon cancer by up to 40%. An easy way to do this is by including BARLEYMAX® in your diet.
