Brown rice is considered a moderate-oxalate food. A wide range of foods, mostly of plant origin, contain various amounts of the natural compound oxalic acid. Your body metabolizes this compound into a form of salt called oxalate, which serves no known purpose in the human body. Consequently, more than 90 percent of oxalate is filtered out by the kidneys for urinary excretion.
The rice diet follows a plan of salt-restriction that allows dieters to consume only half a gram daily. Glucose metabolism is improved by the rice diet, which aids in weight loss. The rice diet, unlike other diets, is a medically supervised program designed to help people with diabetes, kidney disorders, and high blood pressure. The rice diet is considered to be a healthy dieting practice that lowers cholesterol and high blood pressure, normalizes blood sugar, and improves the general well-being of a person.
