According to a new study, routinely eating brown rice may also help protect a person from high blood pressure and atherosclerosis, two important risk factors for cardiovascular disease. <\/p>\n<p>Through comprehensive research, lead author Satoru Eguchi and his colleagues from the Cardiovascular Research Center at Temple University discovered that brown rice contains a layer of tissue capable of combating angiotensin II, an endocrine protein partially responsible for the development of high blood pressure and the hardening of the arteries. <\/p>\n<p>The subaleurone layer of brown rice, which is stripped away to make white rice, is also rich in dietary fibers and oligosaccharides. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;Our research suggests that there is a potential ingredient in rice that may be a good starting point for looking into preventive medicine for cardiovascular diseases,&quot; said Eguchi. &quot;We hope to present an additional health benefit of consuming half-milled or brown rice [as opposed to white rice] as part of a regular diet.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The researcher also speculated that the study&#8217;s findings may help shed light on why fewer people die of heart disease in Japan than the United States. <br \/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-1961-ID-19743386-ADNFCR\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.directnews.co.uk\/feedtrack\/justcopyright.gif?feedid=1961&amp;itemid=19743386\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the last few years nutritionists have identified many health benefits linked to the consumption of brown rice, including its ability to help control cholesterol and blood sugar.
