Diagnosed with cardiac illness? Having cereal fibers for breakfast everyday could improve your chances of a longer, healthier life.

Research affirms that people with cardiac diseases have greater chances of living longer if they amp up their dietary intake of cereal fiber.

"Those who ate most fiber had a 25 percent lower chance of dying in the nine years after their heart attack compared with those who ate least fiber," the researchers found.

The researchers looked at the three different fiber types - cereal, fruit and vegetable -  and deduced that only foods with high cereal fiber intake could boost long-term survival after a heart attack. Breakfast cereal was the one of the vital sources of dietary fiber.

Taking high dietary fiber not only improved blood lipid levels, but also reduced the risk of hypertension, obesity and diabetes.
