Medical Rice: A New Wax-Free Brown Rice and its Protein Reduced Rice.
According to our research, macrobiotic practitioners consumed more magnesium, iron, vitamin E, vitamin Bs and dietary fiber although their energy intake was less than that of average
Japanese. Their Body Mass Index, blood pressure and low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were mostly found to be low, and HbA1c revealed within normal levels. Removal of wax layer improved much of the dispute of brown rice. LPBR has many benefits for patients for renal insufficiency by decreasing protein intake, low patassium and phosphate, and functional ingredients and antioxidant activity. These are strong candidates for medical rice.
Large germ brown rice and pre-germinated brown rice contain functional ingredients to prevent dementia, such as GABA, γ-oryzanol, in addition to the nutritional elements such as vitamins, minerals, and dietary fibers.
Nearly 80% of brown rice amino acids remained in all rice, especially in BG rinse-free white rice. Gamma oryzanol reduced half by wax removal, but antioxidant activity was kept after
removal of wax layer.
Almost no potassium and low phosphate in LPBR were also beneficial for the patients to prevent hyperkalemia and hyperphosphatemia.11 Recently we finished a randomized clinical trial in Bangkok by using protein extracted Indica rice, and had a report of similar effectiveness for CKD. Reduction of minerals was characteristic in LPBR. The remaining minerals was only 0.3% in potassium, 8.4% in magnesium, 9.6% in manganese, 15.7% in phosphate, and 39.5% in zinc. BG rinse free white rice also showed low potassium and phosphate.
