Diabetes Prevention
Studies show that brown rice regulates the digestion period of the carbohydrates within the rice. That is, the digestion period for brown rice is far slower than more processed grains, like white rice, and as a result, sugars are released more slowly into the bloodstream. This means that your blood sugar doesn’t increase significantly when you consume brown rice. In addition, brown rice has a lower GI than other grains. It is important to note this because lower GI foods are known to create more stable blood glucose levels and may therefore reduce the risks of type 2 diabetes [5]. This is your cue to get rid of white rice and bread, and consume more brown rice now.
