Brown rice is a whole grain rich in fiber, B vitamins, magnesium and many antioxidants.
Compared to white rice, brown rice has less quickly starched and especially low purine content, making it suitable for people who need to control uric acid and prevent gout.
For brown rice to maximize the effectiveness of brown rice, the time of eating is very important. Breakfast and lunch are considered the "golden time" to effectively support uric acid control.
Morning
Eating rice or brown rice porridge helps kick- start the metabolism, provide a stable source of energy, and support the uric acid excretion process early in the day.
Lunch
Eating brown rice with green vegetables, fish or lean meat helps balance nutrition, limiting the absorption of purines from red meat or seafood - which is a factor that increases uric acid levels.
On the contrary, you should not eat a lot of brown rice late at night, because the high amount of fiber can cause bloating, indigestion, disrupt sleep and affect metabolism.
