TEN (10) BENEFITS OF OFADA RICE.

1. Good for bone health

Essential minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus, zinc and folate are in Ofada rice. They also help in the absorption of other bone health nutrients required to nurture your bones and prevent bone diseases.

2. Boosts your immunity

The presence of vitamins and minerals such as vitamins A, C, and E help to make the body stronger and increase the immune system strong against certain diseases. Ofada rice also contains three times more vitamin B# and ten times more vitamin B1 and B6 than white rice.

3. Lowers bad cholesterol levels

The high amount of dietary fibres in Ofada reduces LDL (bad) cholesterol levels which are responsible for excessive weight gain due to insulin resistance.

4. Contains a lot of antioxidants

The amount of antioxidants in Ofada rice is 20-30 times more than that in white rice. Antioxidants help to prevent the damage to the system caused by free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules produced in your cells during your metabolism which could cause healthy cells to mutate. Intake of foods and drinks that can neutralise these free radicals are highly encouraged.

5. Fights diabetes

Due to the cellulose and fibre content of Ofada rice, it is suitable for calorie management in health conditions such as diabetes.

6. Prevents constipation

A healthy digestive system is a good thing. Ofada rice contains a whole lot of dietary fibre which fight constipation, diarrhoea, bloating and other gastrointestinal cancers such as gastric ulcers.

7. IT REDUCES BREAST CANCER RISK

SUITABLE Phyto nutrient lignin contents help in defending against breast cancer and heart disease. A study on senior women proved that eating whole grain food such as unpolished rice increases the level of Enterolactone, associated with a reduced risk of breast cancer.

8. IT PREVENTS HEART DISEASE

Being high in fibre, it helps to reduce the risk of heart disease. Ofada rice lowers blood pressure and reduces the risk of plaque build-up in the arteries, thereby helping to prevent the development of heart disease.

9. IT PROTECTS AGAINST COLON CANCER

It contains selenium, which has been shown to reduce the likelihood of colon cancer. The high amount of fibre in the rice accelerates the transit of cancer-causing chemicals in the gastrointestinal tract and thus can help protect against colon cancer.

10. IT MAINTAINS A HEALTHY NERVOUS SYSTEM

Ofada rice is rich in magnesium which is necessary for a healthy nervous system. The nutrient also aids in the production of sex hormones by synthesising fatty acids and producing cholesterontain health bones.
