7 Reasons Why You Should Start Having Brown
Rice is a staple in our country and during mealtime the volume of rice consumed is almost always more than proteins, vegetables or fruits! The rice you regularly eat is white rice, which is actually milled rice and during the process has its hull, bran and germ removed. This process steals many beneficial ingredients from the rice such as important vitamins and essential fatty acids. So, you are left with just a platter of starch which doesn’t really provide the body with all necessary benefits it is supposed to. However a solution does exist and the answer lies in brown rice. The secret of brown rice is its unique manufacturing procedure which renders almost no damage to the nutritional value of rice. NUTRITIONAL FACTS –During the milling process, the fiber in brown rice is kept intact thereby making it more rich in fiber than the white rice. -Brown rice only has its hull removed which means that all its essential nutrients like magnesium, phosphorus, selenium, thiamine, niacin, vitamin B6 and manganese are kept intact. HEALTH BENEFITS Here are some amazing health benefits off brown rice: 1 . Promotes Heart Health Brown rice contains phytonutrients called plant lignans which get converted to mammalian lignans in our body. They help to keep hormone dependent cancers at bay and also protect against heart diseases. Brown rice with sautéed vegetables can make your quick lunch all the more heart-healthy. 2 . Aids In Digestion During the milling process, the fiber in brown rice is kept intact thereby making it more rich in fiber than the white rice. This helps in regulating bowel movements and keeping your digestive tract in optimal health. 3 . Regulates Blood Sugar Brown rice is also known to keep blood sugar levels under control. It is a rich source of magnesium which helps a lot of enzymes critical to the body glucose consumption and insulin secretion 4 . Helps In Weight Loss Brown rice helps the body to feel full with smaller portions and tends to assist in weight loss. So if you are keen to lose a few kilos, brown rice is your ultimate choice. 5 .

Boiled or roasted brown rice with your child’s favorite nuts and meat chunks can provide your child more benefits than one can probably imagine. 6 . Fights Inflammation Brown rice is a good source of antioxidants. Our body needs antioxidants to fight free radicals and provide protection from inflammation. It also contains an important antioxidant enzyme called superoxide dismutase. This antioxidant protects the body from oxidation damage during energy production. 7 . Prevents Cancer Brown rice can also reduce chances of various cancers including colon cancer, breast cancer and leukemia. This is majorly attributed to the presence of antioxidants and high fiber content in the brown rice. The fiber in brown rice can actually bind itself to the harmful cancer causing toxins in the body thus preventing them from attaching to the colon walls. Brown rice bran contains phenols like tricin, ferulic acid, caffeic acid. You will find them in much lesser quantities in white rice. These phenolic components help to minimize the proliferation of colon and breast cancer cells. Even though brown rice has a shelf life of approximately 6 months, hermetic storage or refrigeration has proved to be useful in increasing its lifetime significantly. With all the benefits it provides over white rice, brown rice is increasingly gaining popularity among the masses for its added advantages. So scoop out a little more rice for yourself without the guilt next time as it is sure to enhance the richness of your meal! Eat Healthy, Stay Healthy! -- 1.
