While most of us avoid Rice because of its carb content, some people opt for brown Rice as a healthy alternative to white Rice. This is promoted by health pages, a low glycemic index food with a good amount of fiber and other vitamins and minerals.
But, white Rice has its own benefits and is not as unhealthy as it is today.
5 reasons why you should still consider White Rice to lose weight:
1. Easy to digest: It is great for boosting the metabolic rate, which accelerates the weight loss process.
2. Low At Fat: 100 gm of Uncooked Basmati rice has just 0.7gm Fat. Ironically, it has less fat than the so-called healthy grains like Oats and quinoa.
3. Itโs Gluten Free: Yes, you read it right.
4. Rich nutrition: Rice is rich in vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin B and Magnesium, to name a few. 100 gm of Rice contains 7 gm of protein. Studies have shown that rice protein might also help to reduce blood pressure and blood fats.
5. White Rice does not contain an anti-nutritional factor. Unlike other grains, this one contains phytic acid which reduces the absorption of certain minerals like calcium, iron, and zinc in the body.
