Rice

Rice provides fast energy and is also readily digested. It is good for bowel health, is an important source of vitamin B1 and encourages stable blood sugar levels.

Brown rice is healthier than white rice, as the nutrient-rich outer layers of the rice is stripped in the refining process. Rice should be stored in airtight containers.

Complex carbohydrates should make up about half of one's daily calorie intake
