Brown rice

As a true southerner it took me a long time to embrace Brown rice over white. Not until recently did I actually understand all of the benefits of Brown rice. Brown rice includes more fiber than white rice. It also is rich in antioxidants, manganese (helps synthesize fats), and helps stabilize blood sugar levels.  As I make changes in my lifestyle to become more heart healthy I realize how easy it is to make these simple changes. I look forward to discovering more staples to a healthy lifestyle.
