 BENEFIT OF RED RICE

History of red rice 

Red rice - The benefits of red rice are many. First, red rice is rich in B vitamins that help the body produce red blood cells and serotonin. It is not very palatable because of its high iron content, but it works like a medicine for people suffering from anemia. Red rice is beneficial for diabetics as it keeps blood sugar levels under control. So you can eat red rice rice ignoring the taste.

Red rice is commonly known as rolled rice, brown rice and brown rice. Apart from the white part that we usually know as rice, outside the rice there is a layer of husk and husk or bran.
In the case of white rice, the layers other than the rice are trimmed and discarded. But in red rice only the husk is trimmed. Therefore, red rice is called a whole grain and is richer in fiber and minerals than white rice.

 Benefits of red rice

Some of the significant benefits of eating red rice for good health are-

In the digestive process
Red rice contains fiber. Benefits of eating more fiber-rich foods include—
Protection from constipation
Forming regular toilet habits
Reduced risk of colon cancer
Controlling weight
Red rice contains insoluble fiber. This type of fiber aids in digestion and also contributes to the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut. These bacteria are important for good gut health.
Prevents blood sugar from rising
Rice contains sugars or carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are broken down to form sugar in our blood. Foods that raise blood sugar slowly, not suddenly, are good for health.
White rice raises blood sugar very quickly. The body can quickly break down this rice to make sugar. As a result, the blood sugar increases a lot in a short time.
On the other hand, the glycemic index of red rice is low. It takes a long time for the body to break it down. Blood sugar levels rise slowly. As a result, less insulin is required in diabetic patients. Also the stomach is full for a long time. Thus, red rice reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes and helps control blood sugar.
In heart health
Whole grains like red rice play an important role in reducing the risk of coronary artery disease and other heart diseases.

A study found that people who eat more whole grains have a significantly lower risk of heart attack and stroke.
In long-term disease prevention
Red rice bran contains some disease-fighting substances called 'flavonoids'. They play an important role in disease prevention.
In addition, red rice and other whole grains reduce the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, as well as pancreatic and stomach cancer.
Red rice contains high levels of antioxidants. Antioxidants can prevent cell damage in the body. It can also play an important role in preventing heart disease, cancer and type 2 diabetes.
Research shows that red rice reduces the risk of diabetes.
Some suggestions for eating red rice
If you're thinking about making a dietary change to replace refined grains with whole grains, here are 3 tips for you.

1. Start slowly. At first, something new may not taste good. You can change little by little without changing the whole thing.
Mix some red rice with white rice. Eat a white flour bread, eat a red flour bread with it. Then gradually you might get used to that taste.

2. You can eat other wholegrains besides rice bread. For example, you can buy oats for breakfast.

3. Avoid overeating. Eating red flour and rice can eat more, but not that much. As part of a balanced diet, you should eat red rice and red flour in moderation.
Usually we eat a whole plate of rice with a little curry. Instead of doing this, try to keep half of the plate vegetables and fruits at each meal.

Nutrient content

Calories 238

Fat or affection 1.6 grams

Carbohydrates 49.5 grams

3.12 grams of fiber

Vitamins and minerals
Because the bran layer is intact, red rice is rich in various nutrients like vitamins and minerals. We can get about 88% of the recommended daily allowance of manganese, 27% of selenium and 21% of magnesium in one cup of red rice. Other nutrients like phosphorus, copper, vitamin B6 are also present in significant amount in red rice.

Manganese plays an important role in bone, blood and fat, as well as various connective tissues and in the production of sex hormones. It helps in the blood clotting process and the body's immune system. In addition, manganese contributes to cholesterol and carbohydrate digestion and blood sugar control.
Selenium is an integral component of various important enzymes and proteins in our body. They protect the body cells from various injuries, damages and infections. Apart from this, these proteins play a special role in reproduction and metabolism of thyroid hormones.
Magnesium plays an important role in the process of energy production in the body using oxygen. It is also needed to break down glucose to produce energy.

sugar

As a whole grain, red rice is naturally rich in sugars or carbohydrates. Most of these carbohydrates come from carbohydrates or starches.
Red rice is slightly lower in sugar than white rice. Apart from this, the amount of fiber in white rice is negligible.
Digestion breaks down starchy foods (such as rice, potatoes and bread) into sugar or glucose. Thus white sugar increases the risk of diabetes. Red rice is rich in fiber and takes longer to digest and raises blood sugar at a slower rate. Therefore, red rice is more healthy than white rice.

Fiber and sugar

3.12 grams of fiber per cup of brown rice. On the other hand, there is hardly any sugar. Fiber plays a very important role in the digestive process. Fiber also plays a role in preventing problems like overweight, constipation, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and piles.
