Red Rice Makes the Difference

Red Rice Makes the Difference

Here are some of the ways in which the nutrients supplied by unpolished red rice can make an important difference in your health.

A good source of Dietary Fibre.
Dietary fibre (or non-starch polysaccharide) in cooked red rice can be 5-10 times higher than in cooked white rice. Dietary fibre is important in promoting proper bowel movement and to prevent constipation. Together they work to keep the bowel healthy. Fibre and other components remove toxins, promote the growth of healthy gut bacteria and help keep the bowel regular. Vitamins, minerals and other photochemical found in wholegrain play an important role in keeping the cells of the bowel wall healthy.

Eat whole grains to weigh less
The high fibre content creates a feeling of satiety with fewer calories - an effective and safe way to maintain body weight.

Reduce risk in diabetes and beri-beri
Carbohydrate in red rice is "complex". After being broken down by digestive enzymes into sugars, these are released gradually into the bloodstream and maintain a stable level in blood sugar.For this reason, red rice is taken as a preferred choice for healthy eating.

Protection against Atherosclerosis
Good anti-oxidant as red rice contains carotene, the red-brown pigment found naturally.
