Answer 1

1) 1. OATS :- The prebiotic fiber found in oats help fuel your body’s probiotics, the friendly bacteria that lives in your GI tract. Plus, research has linked beta glucan, a type of soluble fiber found in oats, to lowering cholesterol.
2. POTATOES:-
Potatoes are nutrient powerhouses they can pack up to 4 grams of plant-based protein, nearly 5 grams fiber, and 25% of the potassium you need for the day. So long as you’re baking, roasting, grilling, or boiling, you’re in good hands with a trusty tater, be it white, purple, blue, or sweet (a.k.a. orange).Choose ½ of a large or one small potato as your serving size, season as you would any other veg, and you’re good to go.
3. PULSES :- Pulses the dry edible seeds of beans, lentils, chickpeas, and peas are everywherethese days, and we couldn’t be happier about it. They're a plant based protein and packed with fiber, minerals, and B-vitamins, which help your nervous and muscular systems function. One ½ cup serving has about 8 grams of protein that can swap in for meat, which has more saturated fat. Easily the best benefit of pulses is their price. A bag of black beans can cost three times less than chicken, fish, or beef.
4. BUCK WHEAT:-
Buckwheat is a gluten free seed that’s a staple in Eastern European cuisine, as well as a flour base used in Asian meals and recipes. As a 100% whole grain, the benefits of buckwheat are endless.Use it as a swap for oatmeal at breakfast, instead of rice in stir-frys, and use buckwheat-based Udon as a more nutrient-dense ingredient for traditional egg noodles. It's filled with phytonutrients, fiber, and key antioxidants linked to reducing risk of chronic disease.
2) One serving of carbohydrate is measured as 15 grams. A food that contains 15 grams of carbohydrate is called “one carb serving”. For example, one slice of bread, a small piece of fruit, or a ear of corn each have around 15 grams of carb. Each of these equals one carb serving.
3) yes.
4)Eating whole instead of refined grainssubstantially lowers total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or bad) cholesterol, triglycerides, and insulin levels. Replacing refined grains withwhole grains and eating at least 2 servings of whole grains daily may help to reduce type 2 diabetes risk.
