BROWN RICE VS. WHITE RICE FROM YOUR CHIROPRACTIC OFFICE

The difference between brown rice and white rice is not just color! According to a new study by Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health, simply replacing white rice with brown rice may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.  It is especially important to note that white rice is associated with bringing on a rapid rise in blood sugar levels.

Brown rice has more fiber and is processed different than white rice. Unlike white rice the bran in brown rice is kept intact, which gives a healthier dose of fiber. Brown rice also contains nutrients like magnesium, manganese, zinc and vitamin E.

Tips for preparing and cooking brown rice:

-Rinse thoroughly under water.
-Add one-part rice to two parts boiling water or stock.
-After the liquid returns to boil, turn down heat, cover and simmer about 40-45 minutes.
-Enjoy!
