HEALTH BENEFITS OF BROWN RICE:


 


Can’t we stop eating processed foods? Isn’t it our responsibility to maintain our god gifted 

Most of us not aware about brown rice or unpolished rice, as in this modern world, people tends to eat more processed foods than natural foods. In ancient days people used to eat brown rice. They were very healthy and used to live for long years. But, nowadays on an average a human being life span brought down to 60 years! What’s wrong with us? When we got 100 years of life in hand, why do we spoil our health?

Brown rice is one of the whole grains. It is simply the white rice, which has not had the brown coloured bran covering removed. Most people prefer white rice, since brown rice is fluffier and cooks faster than brown rice. But no one knows white rice is a slow poison. Since, Brown rice has the bran intact, which has more fibre than white rice. One cup of brown rice has 31/2 grams of fibre while the same amount of white rice has less than a gram of fibre. Now you can decide whether to eat brown rice or white rice.
