Nutritional value of brown rice Benefits of eating brown rice

　　Brown rice refers to the whole grain except for the husk. That is, rice containing the cortex, aleurone layer and germ. Due to its thicker taste and tight texture, it takes more time to cook. ； But the nutritional value of brown rice is higher than that of white rice. Compared with whole wheat, although the protein content of brown rice is not much, the protein quality is better, mainly rice protein, and the composition of amino acids is relatively complete, which is easy for the human body to digest and absorb. However, it has less lysine content and contains more fat and carbohydrates, which can provide a large amount of calories to the human body in a short period of time. Brown rice can be obtained after the chaff is removed from the rice through a rice huller.

　　60% to 70% of the vitamins, minerals and a large number of essential amino acids in rice are accumulated in the outer tissue. Although the rice we usually eat is white and delicate, its nutritional value has been lost during the processing. In addition, repeated washing during cooking further loses the vitamins and minerals in the outer layer. What is left is mainly carbohydrates and part of the protein. Its nutritional value is much lower than that of brown rice. Don't underestimate the outer tissue retained in brown rice, which has high nutritional value.

　　Modern nutritional research has found that the bran and germ parts of brown rice are rich in vitamin B and vitamin E, which can improve human immune function, promote blood circulation, and can also help people eliminate depression and irritability, making people full of energy. In addition, brown rice contains higher amounts of trace elements such as potassium, magnesium, zinc, iron, and manganese, which are beneficial to preventing cardiovascular disease. disease and anemia disease. It also retains a large amount of dietary fiber, which can promote the proliferation of intestinal beneficial bacteria, accelerate intestinal peristalsis, soften stool, and prevent constipate and bowel cancer； Dietary fiber can also bind to cholesterol in bile and promote the excretion of cholesterol, thereby helping Hyperlipidemia patients with diabetes lower their blood lipids.

　　Efficacy and role

　　1. Brown rice has a good effect on patients with obesity and gastrointestinal dysfunction.

　　Eating brown rice is particularly beneficial for diabetics and obese people. Because the carbohydrates are wrapped in crude fiber tissue, the human body digests and absorbs it slowly, so it can control blood sugar well. ； At the same time, the trace elements in brown rice help improve insulin sensitivity, which is very helpful for people with impaired glucose tolerance. Japanese research has proven that brown rice has a much lower glycemic index than white rice and has a better sense of fullness when eating the same amount, which is beneficial to food intake control and thus helps obese people lose weight.

　　2. Eat more brown rice and vegetables to prevent allergies

　　Quite a few children are affected by dermatitis, eczema and other allergic diseases. Studies have found that the reason why these children are susceptible to dermatitis is closely related to improper food choices, such as a partial preference for meat, milk, and eggs, which results in a decrease in the quality of red blood cells in the body and a lack of vitality. The human body composed of such low-quality red blood cells has greatly weakened adaptability and assimilation ability to nature. In addition, protein molecules from milk and eggs easily penetrate into the blood from the intestinal wall, forming allergic toxins such as histamine and serotonin, which stimulate the body to produce allergic reactions and cause disease. Brown rice and vegetables are different. The red blood cells they support have strong vitality and no foreign proteins enter the bloodstream, so they can prevent the above-mentioned allergic reactions. skin disease occurrence.

　　3. Brown rice can treat anemia；

　　4. Brown rice can treat constipation, purify blood, and strengthen physical fitness.；

　　5. The vitamin E rich in germ can promote blood circulation and effectively maintain body functions.；

　　6. Brown rice can normalize cell function and maintain endocrine balance.；

　　7. Brown rice has the ability to connect and decompose radioactive substances such as pesticides, thereby effectively preventing the absorption of harmful substances in the body and achieving cancer prevention.

　　8. Brown rice can improve human immunity, promote blood circulation, eliminate depression and irritability, and prevent cardiovascular diseases and intestinal cancer.
