Brown Rice
Brown rice is a whole grain that has several layers. Only the outermost layer, the hull, is removed to produce what we call brown rice. This process is the least damaging to the nutritional value of the rice and avoids the unnecessary loss of nutrients that occurs with further processing.
Brown rice as an excellent source of manganese, and the minerals selenium and magnesium.
The nutrients in brown rice make a difference in your health:
Just one cup of brown rice provides you with 88% of your daily manganese needs. Manganese helps produce energy from protein and carbohydrates and the combining of fatty acids important for a healthy nervous system and the production of healthy cholesterol, which is used by the body to produce sex hormones. Manganese provides protection against damage from free radicals.
Fiber and Selenium
Brown rice provides a concentrated source of the fiber reducing the amount of time cancer-causing substances spend in contact with the colon. Brown rice is a very good source of selenium, a trace mineral shown to substantially reduce the risk of colon cancer.
Brown rice supplies 14% of the daily need for fiber and 27% for selenium. Selenium is essential for thyroid hormone metabolism, antioxidant defense systems, and immune function.
Selenium plays a critical role in cancer prevention. Selenium also works with vitamin E in the prevention, not only of cancer, but also heart disease, decreases the symptoms of asthma, and the pain and inflammation of rheumatoid arthritis.
The oil in whole brown rice lowers cholesterol.
Eating a serving of whole grains, such as brown rice, at least 6 times a week is important for postmenopausal women with high cholesterol, high blood pressure or other cardiovascular diseases. Brown rice slowed progression of atherosclerosis and the narrowing of arterial passageways. Brown rice is a rich source of magnesium, a mineral involved in the body's use of glucose and insulin secretion.
Magnesium, another nutrient for which brown rice is a good source, is helpful in reducing the severity of asthma, lowering high blood pressure, reducing the frequency of migraine headaches, and reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Magnesium, as well as calcium, is necessary for healthy bones. About two-thirds of the magnesium in the human body is found in our bones. Some helps give bones their physical structure, while the rest is found on the surface of the bone where it is stored for the body to draw upon as needed. Brown rice helps keep those storage sites replenished and ready to meet your body's needs. A cup of brown rice will give you 21% of the daily value for magnesium.
