Health is Natural

Even though our bodies routinely face assault from environmental toxins, ravages from psychological stress, and mistreatment from poor eating and sleeping habits, we are miraculously programmed and well equipped to remain disease free. The best way to support the body’s own defenses is to consume nutrient dense, whole foods that contain protective nutraceuticals like antioxidants and essential amino acids.

Rediscovering Rice

For centuries, rice has been a staple food, but nobody knew what a true superfood it was until a recent technology unlocked its full nutritional potential. 

 

diagram of rice kernalMost of the nutrients in rice are routinely destroyed or discarded during milling. The first step removes the outer hull, resulting in what is commonly known as "brown rice". The second step removes the bran leaving "white rice". This already strips most of the nutritional value because rice bran (including the germ) contains 65% of the nutrients.

 

Even if you keep the bran on (leaving brown rice), you have another problem. As soon as a rice seed is removed from its hull, an enzyme called lipase starts turning the healthy oils in the bran rancid. Within hours, the bran becomes unfit for human consumption because rancid foods are carcinogenic (they can increase your chance of getting cancer).

 

In order to stabilize brown rice and rice bran, manufacturers generally use chemicals or microwave heat to halt the lipase enzyme activity. This destroys phytonutrients. 

 

Luckily, a company called Nutracea recently discovered and developed a proprietary non-chemical process that stabilizes rice bran without destroying or degrading its nutritional profile. Their patented method selectively deactivates the lipase enzyme activity without damaging heat-sensitive nutrients. The result is a microbiologically safe rice bran with higher levels of micronutrients and antioxidants than any other rice product. It contains quality hypoallergenic protein and healthy fiber that is easily tolerated and is gluten and lactose-free, so it can be safely consumed by children, adults, and the elderly every day.

 

Stabilized Rice Bran contains over 120 known antioxidants, cofactors and catalysts--including Tocotrienols, Tocopherols, Phytosterols, CoQ10, Alpha Lipoic Acid, IP6, Gamma Oryzanol and Omega 3, 6 & 9.
