Make it Brown Rice instead

So I woke up this am all excited about heading home soon. And then I started thinking about the way my eating has changed and how I apply the nutrition I know to my own life. Today I will say a little about brown rice. There is a push on a global scale to encourage the consumption of whole grains, this group of foods are beneficial for colon health, keeping cholesterol in check, heart health, and helping to keep you feeling full longer when compared to refined carbohydrates. So brown rice is one way to introduce whole grains into your diet and benefit form all the good it has to offer. I often hear persons who have been eating white rice all their lives tell me they cannot eat or do not like brown rice. Some of the complaints; it takes too long to cook, it does not taste good, it is tough. So although there might be some truth here any change we want to make especially where eating is concerned may take some getting used to, yes we may have to acquire the taste. So my suggestions are instead of using water use low sodium broth (vegetable, chicken or beef) or if you have created a home made version use it to cook your brown rice it will pack those small wholesome grains with plenty flavor. Yes brown rice does take a little longer to prepare so here is a tip turn up the heat very high making the pot boil rapidly once half of the liquid has reduced go ahead and turn the heat down to low and allow rice to complete cooking.Small changes can have a lasting effect so maybe introducing small portions at a time will make the change stick. So go ahead pick up a bag of brown rice and add it to this weeks menu, your body will thank you. di june plum
