Benefits of brown rice
Also known as brown rice, they are like a whole grain. After milling, only the outer shell is removed, leaving the bran and germ intact. Therefore, brown rice often contains many nutrients such as fiber, magnesium, iron, thiamine and zinc. Furthermore, the glycemic index of brown rice is also lower than that of white rice.
Besides, the fiber in brown rice also supports weight control. When you eat foods rich in fiber like brown rice, you feel full longer, helping reduce cravings and limit excess calorie consumption. Thereby preventing weight gain and reducing the risk of obesity, helping you stay in shape more effectively.
Moreover, brown rice also has some other great benefits as follows:
- Improves skin, making skin bright and smooth

- Enhance liver function, protect the liver
Brown rice is a rich source of minerals like selenium and zinc - substances important for liver health. Selenium has powerful antioxidant properties, helps reduce inflammation and protects the liver from damage. Zinc supports the division and recovery of liver cells, helping the liver quickly recover after damage and maintain function.
In addition, thanks to its high fiber content, brown rice helps regulate cholesterol levels by reducing the absorption of bad cholesterol (LDL) from food and enhancing cholesterol excretion through the digestive tract. This helps reduce pressure on the liver and prevent cholesterol-related liver diseases such as fatty liver, cirrhosis...
- Prevent kidney stones
In addition, the fiber in brown rice also helps enhance the kidney's excretion ability, ensuring that wastes and toxins are effectively removed from the body. So take advantage of eating brown rice to prevent diseases.

Notes when eating brown rice
- Do not eat brown rice that has been left out for too long, and do not reheat brown rice many times because the nutrients will be reduced and it will be difficult to eat, even harmful to your health.
- Like any other food, brown rice is only good if you eat it in moderation. If you eat too much brown rice, it will cause indigestion and hinder nutrient absorption.
- Some people often think that eating brown rice is better for your health than eating regular rice or white rice, but this is wrong. According to experts' recommendations, you should only eat brown rice 2-3 times per week.
