Rice is Nice

It’s looking as though eating more rice might help to offset obesity.

In Asian countries, rice is often a dietary staple.  Research from the Doshisha Women’s College of Liberal Arts in Kyoto, Japan indicates that “the obesity rate is low” in such nations.

Rice is not only low in fat, but is also rich in fiber and nutrients.  These factors “may increase feelings of fullness and prevent overeating.”
