White Rice Vs Brown Rice – Which Is Better For Your Health?

May 5,2020
Share:

Rice is a versatile grain consumed by people around the world.

It serves as a staple food for many people, especially those living in Asia.

Rice comes in several colors, shapes and sizes, but the most popular are white and brown rice.

White rice is the most commonly consumed type, but brown rice is widely recognized as a healthier option.

Many people prefer brown rice for this reason.

All rice consists almost entirely of carbs, with small amounts of protein and practically no fat.

Brown rice is a whole grain. That means it contains all parts of the grain including the fibrous bran, the nutritious germ and the carb-rich endosperm.

White rice, on the other hand, has had the bran and germ removed, which are the most nutritious parts of the grain.

This leaves white rice with very few essential nutrients, which is why brown rice is usually considered much healthier than white.

Brown rice is a whole grain that contains the bran and germ. These provide fiber and several vitamins and minerals. White rice is a refined grain that has had these nutritious parts removed

Brown rice is high in magnesium and fiber, both of which help control blood sugar levels.

Research suggests that regularly eating whole grains, like brown rice, helps lower blood sugar levels and decreases the risk of type 2 diabetes.

In one study, women who frequently ate whole grains had a 31% lower risk of type 2 diabetes than those who ate the fewest whole grains.

Simply replacing white rice with brown has been shown to lower blood sugar levels and decrease the risk of type 2 diabetes.

On the other hand, high consumption of white rice has been linked to an increased risk of diabetes.

This may be due to its high glycemic index (GI), which measures how quickly a food increases blood sugar.

Brown rice has a GI of 50 and white rice has a GI of 89, meaning that white increases blood sugar levels much faster than brown.

Eating high-GI foods has been associated with several health conditions, including.

Eating brown rice may help lower blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. White rice, on the other hand, may actually increase the risk of type 2 diabetes.
