Bee Prepared: Wheat

Thanks to everyone who came to our Bee Prepared class this month! I think it was a huge success, not only are we more prepared because we know how to grind wheat and make bread but we had a great time.

Also, here are some reasons to love whole wheat:
1. It's more nutritious, providing several more minerals, vitamins (18 more to be exact!), and natural photochemicals than white flour.
2. Relax! It has more B Vitamins which are known to help with nerves and stress.
3. Get Cleaned out. Whole wheat provides more fiber, preventing constipation and diverticulosis.
4. Lose weight and keep it off! Whole wheat has a lot of fiber which has almost no calories, keeps you fuller for longer, absorbs 3x it's weight in water, cuts absorptions of calories, cleans out impurities, requires more chewing, and takes 1/2 as much to fill you up and takes longer to digest.
5. Reduces your risk of colon cancer and other diseases.
6. Lowers blood pressure, cholesterol leverls, and risk of adult on set Diabetes.
7. Cheaper! It will lower your food costs by 30% -50%.
8. Lowers doctors vistis, bills and medications.
9. Lowers dentist bills by cutting down on tooth decay.
10. Eating whole wheat keeps your body physically used to wheat.
