Those who want to part with extra pounds quickly and without damage to health, it is worth paying attention to a very interesting product - brown rice and use it for weight loss
What is brown rice and why is it useful?
The value of rice as a food product is determined by the fact that it:
- is a source of carbohydrates and gives the body energy;
- contains very useful micronutrients and vitamins , which can fill all the requests of the body;
- removes slag, salt and excess water.
However, when cleaning from the husks and when grinding, rice loses most of its merits. Therefore, it is much more useful to use brown or brown rice that has not been processed. Its main difference from a white colleague is a low glycemic index. If you eat a serving of white rice, then an hour or two later there is a strong feeling of hunger. Brown rice keeps the feeling of satiety much longer. Why is that?
Glycemic index - an index of the rate of cleavage of products to pure glucose. If this happens quickly, insulin is produced, through which nutrients are instantly delivered to the muscles and tissues by blood - and there they are stored as fat. And the body again requires food.
Products with a low glycemic index break down slowly, the gradual release of insulin provides a slow progress of nutrients and a sense of satiety for a long time. This property allows you to effectively use brown rice for weight loss: diets based on it are not accompanied by a depressing sense of hunger.
