RIDGWAY, Colo.—A recent Grain Foods Foundation survey revealed that only 4 percent of U.S. adults are eating the recommended daily six servings of grain in their diets; therefore, the foundation partnered with health and motivational expert Bob Harper to launch the Daily 6, an easy and stress-free way to help people achieve a healthy, balanced approach to their diets.
Getting six servings of grains each day is as easy as having cereal for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch and a cup of pasta with dinner.
"Grain foods are healthy, convenient and affordable," said Judi Adams, MS, RD and president of the Grain Foods Foundation. "Many of us are eating grains throughout the day and not realizing it—pretzels, snack mix, bagels, rice and tortillas all count toward our Daily 6."
