Brown rice or “medical rice for health” is a variety of rice that has recently gained a lot of popularity. It is a whole grain rice with only the inedible outer cover removed and is considered as a nutritional powerhouse.
Brown rice has a beneficial role in weight loss due to the presence of dietary fiber. Fiber improves digestion and also keeps you feeling full over a long period of time that aids weight loss. Brown rice also helps control the blood sugar level due to its anti-diabetic activity by increasing the insulin secretion. It even helps to boost energy and keep the heart healthy.
According to Ayurveda, application of Brown rice water is beneficial for skin (face and neck) problems such as acne or pimples due to its Ropan (healing) property. Applying it on the skin also helps promote healing.
