It is a well-known fact that eating multigrain rice is healthier than plain white rice. However, when it comes to actually eating multigrain rice, many people are unsure which grains are most beneficial and worry about it. Here are three foods that are good to add together when cooking rice.

 

Oat

 

Oats are known to be rich in protein, unsaturated fatty acids, and minerals. About 13-20% of oats are dietary fiber, of which 4-5% is soluble dietary fiber called beta-glucan. Beta-glucan lowers bad LDL cholesterol levels and activates immune functions of cells. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), consuming more than 3 grams of beta-glucan daily can reduce the risk of heart disease. Oats contain more than twice the amount of protein compared to rice and also have a preventive effect on constipation. Additionally, avenanthramide, a component found only in oats among grains, has excellent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and is known to be effective in preventing and treating dementia.

◇Fee

 

Sorghum is a grain with excellent antioxidant capacity, generally known to be about 37 times higher than that of barley. High antioxidant capacity helps reduce harmful reactive oxygen species, which aids in preventing cardiovascular diseases. Sorghum is also rich in anthocyanin compounds, which have the effect of inhibiting the spread of cancer cells. Sorghum also helps maintain gut health. In fact, a joint study by the Rural Development Administration and Professor Kang Hee's team at Kyung Hee University found that after feeding rats twice a day for 14 days with sorghum bread and regular wheat bread, rats that ate sorghum bread had fewer bacteria that cause intestinal diseases and more beneficial bacteria in their intestines. Eating sorghum together with soybeans allows for the simultaneous replenishment of lipids and proteins.

 

 

◇Measurement

 

Job's tears help lower cholesterol levels and support cardiovascular health. A joint research team from the Indian International Semi-Dry Tropical Crop Research Institute, Malawi International Food Policy Research Institute, and Reading University in the UK analyzed 19 studies involving approximately 900 participants. As a result, consuming 50 to 200 grams of Job's tears daily for 21 days to 4 months reduced total cholesterol levels by 8%. During this period, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides decreased by 10% and 9.5%, respectively, while HDL cholesterol, the good cholesterol, increased by 6%. Job's tears are also effective in improving and preventing hair loss because they are rich in myriacin, a nutrient that maintains hair health. Myriacin is a type of phytosterol, a plant-derived cholesterol, which helps promote the proliferation and metabolic activity of keratinocytes in hair follicle epithelial cells.

 

 

=====================

 

These days, I cook rice by mixing different grains.

Oats, millet, and including barnyard millet.

I need to check.

 

Once hair loss begins,

This... is seriously stressful.
