According to a 2011 study, eating 5 or more servings of white rice a week will increase the risk of type 2 diabetes. Conversely, eating 2 servings of brown rice a week can reduce the risk.

Studies have shown that replacing one-third of daily servings white rice with brown rice,  the risk of developing type 2 diabetes can be reduced by 16%.

Although brown rice has a medium glycemic index, it has fewer carbohydrates than white rice and has a lower impact on blood sugar.

So when cooking at home, you can cook a little more brown rice, to mix with white rice can also make it taste better!
