Surprising brown rice facts

White rice is all the craze, but if you don't try switching to brown rice you could be missing out.



When rice is "refined," most of the important nutrients are removed.  The reason most white rice is labeled as "enriched" is because synthetic vitamins and iron are added to it in order to sell it as a food with nutritional value.   Here are some health benefits of choosing brown rice.


Packed with antioxidants:  Some may not know that brown rice has good amounts of antioxidants.  Antioxidants help prevent tissue damage and some cancers by removing harmful free radicals from the blood.

Contains selenium:  Selenium helps to lower the chances of developing arthritis, heart disease, and even cancer.

Promotes weight loss:  Fiber is important to not just the digestive system, but also for heart health.  Fiber makes you feel fuller so usually leads to smaller portions.  It can help with managing cholesterol levels and helps move toxins out of the body.

Great for baby food:  Turn to brown rice cereals for your baby rather than white rice products because, while they are growing rapidly, babies need a nutrient dense food.  The fiber present in brown rice is good for the little ones also.

Rich in manganese:  Manganese plays a role in the body's ability to synthesize fats.  It helps the reproductive system and the nervous system too.  Just 1 cup of brown rice yields about 80% of the daily needed amount of manganese.

Full of fiber:  Brown rice is loaded with fiber which may help to prevent colon cancer.  Fibers help to flush out carcinogenic substances and toxins and flush them out of your system.
