      There are many reasons, but we present you seven essential ones to convince you that rice, whether in its white, whole grain version, or any of the alternatives from Arroz SOS, should be part of your daily diet.   1.- Brown rice is your doctor Wild rice, like Arroz Integral SOS, helps reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, certain types of cancer, and cardiovascular conditions. Additionally, if you regularly eat this type of rice, you can lower your risk of high blood pressure.   2.- Friends of gluten-free Both typical white rice and brown rice, both available in the Arroz SOS product line, are completely gluten-free, making them a good food source for those on stricter diets.   3.- Goodbye to fat This ingredient, in all its types, is virtually fat-free before cooking, and what's more, it contains no cholesterol inside. This is why it is recommended to steam it and retain these attributes.   4.- Lots of happiness Rice helps your brain release serotonin, the hormone that helps maintain a good mood, in addition to keeping your appetite calm.   5.- Satisfied A study shows that just one cup of rice, in any of its forms, creates a feeling of fullness in an average-sized person. This means that with very few calories, you feel full and don't want to eat more.   6.- For a better figure A serving of rice (approximately 30g) represents around 100 calories, so its inclusion in the diet is recommended even for those who want to lose weight. Furthermore, some studies show that adults who prefer rice over other side dishes like potatoes have significantly fewer cases of obesity.   7.- Body and mind Both white and brown rice have benefits for our muscles as well as for proper brain function. For this reason, those who consume a lot of rice, as in Asian countries, have enviable body and mental control even in advanced ages.   Rice Recipes   Italian Risotto Quick and Easy Paella Mushroom Jasmine Soup   Did you know these reasons to eat this ingredient?
