Health benefits of rice can be found in more than forty thousand varieties of this cereal available in the world. The two main categories include whole grain rice and white rice. Whole grain rice is not processed much, therefore it is high in nutritional value, whereas white rice is processed so that the bran or outer covering is removed and it has less nutritional value. Rice can also be defined by the length of each grain.According to Rice-Trade, rice is extremely nutritious. Some of the health benefits specified by them are as follows:
• Great Energy Source: As rice is rich in carbohydrates, it acts as fuel for the body and aids in normal functioning of the brain.
• Cholesterol Free: Eating rice is extremely beneficial for health, just for the fact that it does not contain harmful fats, cholesterol or sodium. It forms an integral part of balanced diet.
• Rich in vitamins: Rice is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals like niacin, vitamin D, calcium, fibre, iron, thiamine and riboflavin.
• Resistant Starch: Rice abounds in resistant starch, which reaches the bowel in undigested form. It aids the growth of useful bacteria for normal bowel movements.
• High Blood Pressure: As rice is low in sodium, it is considered best food for those suffering from high blood pressure and hypertension. (Source: Organic Facts)

Bethany Lutheran Church has set aside this Sunday, August 8th, as a day to celebrate the institution of Marriage. It was said that rice was thrown at the departing bride and groom as an offering of good luck and happy days. We invite you to bring a pound of rice for each year you've been married to help us reach our goal of 10,000 lbs of food.
