Healthy Swaps – Brown Rice

I know that if I want to make a good positive change to my lifestyle, I need to eat less, eat healthier alternatives and move more.

Here’s what I discovered about brown rice, and why brown rice is better for us than white rice.

• has more nutrients and fibre (white rice has the goodness ‘refined’ out of it)
• helps to stabilize blood sugar levels (better for diabetics)
• keeps us fuller for longer
• can help us lose more midsection fat than white rice
• has manganese which helps in bone formation
• it tastes nicer than white rice

There are two articles I enjoyed regarding brown rice, https://www.askfitnesscoach.com/5-reasons-brown-rice-helps-lose-weight/ https://nutritionfacts.org/2019/03/19/white-rice-vs-brown-rice/

Do hope I’ve helped to convince any staunch white ricers to give this lovely alternative a go 🙂
