Brown Rice is Good for the Body
Many of you know that I love Chinese food, I consider it my comfort food! And now most Chinese restaurants will give you two choices for the rice dish, white or brown. I recommend the brown rice.
Rice has been a staple in the diet of many cultures for
centuries and natural brown rice has been considered a
magical healer since way back around 2800 B.C. It was
believed to be nature's most perfect healing food because
of its delicate, natural balance – offering an optimal
yin/yang balance. The ancients viewed brown rice as a
food of inner peace, tranquility and divine health. Early folk healers noted the calming serenity
brown rice promoted and viewed it as a gift from the gods.
What the ancients knew instinctively has largely been confirmed through analysis.
Natural brown
rice protein contains eight (out of a total of eleven) essential amino acids, is a valuable source of
the B-complex vitamins, plus minerals like manganese, selenium, magnesium, phosphorous,
copper, zinc and more.
Natural brown rice is an abundant source of many of the elements required for better health and
wellness. Vitamins and minerals found in rice promote youthful vitality, soothe the nerves, nourish
the hormonal system, enrich the bloodstream, help to heal wounds, assist in regulating blood
pressure, work to establish a normal heartbeat and maintain a healthy internal water balance.
It's no wonder the ancients considered natural brown rice to be a
food of divine health and longevity.
Easy to process internally and fully digested in about one hour – natural brown rice is an ideal food
for anyone seeking a rapid and healthy assimilation. It's low in fat, sodium and cholesterol too,
making it a wise choice for anyone seeking better overall health, or trying to manage their weight.
While the folk healers believed the positive effects of natural brown rice consumption included the
restoration of inner peace and tranquility along with youthful vitality – they probably didn't know why. As it turns out, rice is a primary source of meatless protein. When
this protein is metabolized into health-inducing amino acids, a total internal rejuvenation occurs.
It's wise to add more rice to your diet, but you need to be aware that although there are
natural nutrients in all long grain rice types – not all forms are equally beneficial. The kind of rice I'm referring to is whole grain, brown and organically grown. White rice is completely different
and far-less beneficial to your overall health and well-being. Sure it tastes fine and cooks much faster
than brown, but white rice has been overly-processed, causing it to lose much of its nutritional
value.
