August is National Wellness Month, a time when we should be prioritizing self-care, reducing stress and creating healthier habits to feel our best. There are so many ways to do this, like enjoying a delicious meal that fuels your body while making taste buds dance, partaking in your favorite workouts, or relaxing during an at-home “spa” day.

One easy way to support overall wellness is to make sure your body is getting the essential nutrients it needs to thrive. Enriched and fortified grain foods, things like bread, pastas and cereals, have many of these nutrients added in - helping to ensure you’re meeting the recommended amounts of B vitamins, iron, zinc, magnesium and calcium.

Is corn top-of-mind as part of a diet to lower cholesterol? A new study says it should be. New research in the Journal of Nutrition reveals significant reductions in cholesterol levels when participants made a single, simple change: they swapped in foods made with refined corn flour that included added corn bran.

Learn more about this research, including why the lead researcher Corrie Whisner, PhD, says "Corn is unique and underappreciated."

Happy Farmers Market Week! It’s the perfect time to stock up on fresh ingredients from the farmers market to pair with your favorite . Whether you're stacking up fresh tomatoes, crunchy lettuce and artisan cheeses on sliced bread, or tossing together roasted seasonal veggies and fresh herbs with whole grain pasta, we have you covered with delicious ideas to put those farmers market finds to good use.

🍞 Enjoy your morning eggs with toast! Serving grains (which contain carbohydrates and B vitamins) with protein and fat helps boost metabolism.
🥪 Load up the veggies! Fortified grains are a major source of non-heme iron. Adding vitamin C-rich veggies to your sandwich helps improve absorption and fight iron-deficiency anemia.
🥗 Beans for the win! Pairing whole grains and beans creates a complete protein rich in essential amino acids. Try them together in a summer salad.
