Quinoa benefits people with high cholesterol and more!

Quinoa, though not technically a cereal grain like wheat or oats,
has been cultivated and eaten as a cereal for thousands of years
by South Americans. Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is the tiny seed
of the Chenopodium Quinoa, a leafy plant that is a distant
relative of spinach and beets.

Quinoa was called the "mother grain" by the Incas (chisiya mama).
Now, as people in the rest of the world learn more about Quinoa,
they're discovering that its ancient nickname was well deserved -
Quinoa is indeed a nutritional powerhouse.

Quinoa's protein content, about 16 percent, is higher than that
of any other grain. Wheat also has a high protein content, about
14 percent, but the protein in wheat and most other grains is
lacking in the amino acid lysine, which Quinoa has in abundance.
In fact, the amino acid composition in Quinoa is almost perfect.

The World Health Organization has judged the protein in Quinoa
to be as complete as that in milk. In addition, Quinoa contains
more iron than most grains, and is a good source of calcium,
phosphorus, folate, and many B vitamins.

Eating a serving of whole grains, such as Quinoa, at least 6 times each week is an especially good idea for postmenopausal women with high cholesterol, high blood pressure or other signs of cardiovascular disease.

A 3-year prospective study of 229 postmenopausal women with
cardiovascular disease, published in the July 2005 issue of the
American Heart Journal, shows that those eating at least 6
servings of whole grains each week experienced slowed progression
of atherosclerosis, the build-up of plaque that narrows the
vessels through which blood flows and lss progression in
stenosis, the narrowing of the diameter of arterial passageways.
