Unpolished rice
HEALTH BENEFITS OF UNPOLISHED RICE
, all white rice packaging has a label that reads “enriched.” Since white rice has been stripped of iron, vitamins, zinc, magnesium and other nutrients during the refining process, manufacturers must add unnatural fortifications in the form of synthetic vitamins and iron so it can be marketed to the public as a “nutritious food.” Although white rice is fortified, it still doesn’t reach the minimum nutritional requirements for one serving of food as specified by the FDA. The healthy benefits of unpolished rice are listed below.
*Rich in Selenium – It is rich in selenium which reduces the risk of developing common illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, and arthritis.
*High in Manganese- One cup of unpolished rice provides 80% of our daily manganese requirements. Manganese helps the body synthesize fats. Manganese also benefits our nervous and reproductive systems.
*Rich in Naturally-Occurring Oils Naturally occurring oils are beneficial for the body as these healthful fats help normalize cholesterol levels.
*Promotes Weight Loss The fibre content of unpolished rice keeps bowel function at its peak since it makes digestion that much easier. It is the perfect addition to the daily diet for those seeking bowel regularity. In addition, it also makes the tummy feel full which translates to smaller meal portions.
*Considered Whole Grain unpolished rice is considered a whole grain since it hasn’t lost its “wholeness” through the refinement process. Whole grains are proven to reduce the build-up of arterial plaque and reduce the risk of heart disease and high cholesterol
