Red Rice Keep Blood Sugar

Diabetes mellitus or diabetes has become a global health problem. Number of patients with this disease continues to increase dramatically, including in Indonesia. One of the prevention efforts that can be done is setting a good diet.

From this strategy, various studies have shown, changing the type of food consumed effectively to control blood sugar levels. One way is to replace white rice with brown rice or bread from Cereal intact.

Recent publication of the Harvard researchers published in the Archives of Internal Medicine states, red rice and foodstuffs from intact Cereal is a healthier choice for diabetics because it raises blood sugar slowly.

Knowledge about the benefits of brown rice for diabetes is not new, but until recently white rice is still the favorite of many people. In a study of 200,000 people known to Americans, those who ate white rice has diabetes risk 17 percent higher than those who rarely eat rice.

Conversely, people who eat red rice risk for getting diabetes fell by 11 percent. The same benefits are also found if we replace white rice with serelia intact, including bread or pasta.

Consumption of food high in fiber had lower risk of diabetes because it can lower blood sugar and insulin levels and reduce the risk of progression of poor glucose tolerance in type 2 diabetes.

Like Cereal intact, brown rice is also rich in fiber and produce energy in stages or also called a low glycemic index. Therefore, the experts called for 70 percent of our carbohydrate needs met from brown rice or whole Cereal.
