Health benefits of unpolished rice and millets
Posted on: 12/Jul/2018 12:40:05 PM
All around the world people consume rice mainly in the form of polished white grains that had already lost most of the important nutrients and minerals in the process. The component that covers the rice has the natural proteins, vitamin B complex and sources of minerals. The polishing process removes all those important compounds in the natural grain and the only macro nutrient we obtain from the white polished rice is carbohydrates.
According to Dr. Yuvabharat BNYS, PG (PAHM), UK, millets are the ultimate solution for the body to absorb all kinds of necessary nutrients in its natural form for the effective functioning of the body. Kambu, Kezhvaragu, Bajra, Ragi, Sorghum, Varagu, Kuthirai Vaali, Nachni and Samai are some of the important millets of India.
As the consumption of millets will take longer time in terms of release of the blood sugar in the body when compared to white rice. So the feeling of fullness arises while consuming millets leading to effective weight loss and control of blood sugar.
In Naturopathy treatment of diabetes and obesity the basic criteria is to start eating millets instead of white rice along with fruits and vegetables. This itself will remove all the obstacles that prevent the body from natural healing, says Dr. Yuvabharat.
