The Wonders Of Ofada Rice by ollyndjeda(m): 2:22pm On Dec 23, 2013
Ofada is a generic name used to describe all
rice produced and Processed in the rice
producing clusters of south west Nigeria
named after Ofada, a small rural community
in Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of
Ogun State.Ofada rice, has been linked to
protection against atherosclerosis, ischemic
stroke, diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity,
and premature death. In addition to the
matrix of nutrients in their dietary fibers,
the whole-grain arsenal includes a wide
variety of additional nutrients and
phytochemicals that reduce the risk of
cardiovascular disease. Compounds in whole
grains that have cholesterol-lowering
effects include polyunsaturated fatty acids,
oligosaccharides, plant sterols and stanols,
and saponins. Ofada rice also important
dietary sources of water-soluble, fat-
soluble, and insoluble antioxidants.
The long list of cereal antioxidants includes
vitamin E, tocotrieonols, selenium, phenolic
acids, and phytic acid. These multifunctional
antioxidants come in immediate-release to
slow-release forms and thus are available
throughout the gastrointestinal tract over
a long period of time.
The benefits of eating brown rice such as
ofada rice are many and outweigh eating the
polished one. Most of the health benefits
attributed to brown rice are scientifically
proven and are not just a folk lore. What is
more, scientists indicated that consuming
brown rice is far better in the prevention of
diabetes as compared to white rice.
Ofada rice is usually sticky after being
cooked, and the aroma is one that has
endeared it to the hearts of everyone that
has set their lips on this african delicacy.
Ofada rice is savoured because its taste is
really unique and it tastes better than
basmati rice. It curbs diseases like diabetes
also.
Diabetes is a condition where the body finds
it difficult to regulate blood sugar. The
sugar comes from the digestion of starchy
foods like bread, rice, yam and noodles.
Increase in glucose level in the blood
progressively damage the eyes, kidney,
nerves, heart and major blood vessels
(arteries).
A 2010 study in the journal Archives of
Internal Medicine, which was the first to
specifically examine white rice and brown
rice in relation to diabetes risk among
Americans, estimated that replacing 50g of
white rice (just one third of a typical daily
serving) with the same amount of brown rice
would lower risk of type 2 diabetes by 16 per
cent.
But when white rice is replaced with other
whole grains, such as whole wheat and
barley, the risk of developing diabetes was
reduced by 36 per cent.
Ironically, eating brown rice is not associated
with ethnicity, but with a more health-
conscious diet and lifestyle after the
researchers adjusted for a variety of
factors that could influence the results,
including age, body mass index, smoking
status, alcohol intake, family history of
diabetes, and other dietary habits.
Brown rice is superior to white rice when it
comes to fiber content, minerals, vitamins,
and phytochemicals and it often does not
generate as large an increase in blood sugar
levels after a meal. Milling and polishing
brown rice remove most vitamins and
minerals. In addition, milling strips away most
of its fibre, which helps deter diabetes by
slowing the rush of sugar (glucose) into the
bloodstream.
According to a consultant endocrinologist,
white rice has high glycaemic index, causing
fat to be deposited in the body. The excess
carbohydrate, in turn, causes an increase in
insulin resistance of cells in the body.
Glycaemic Index (GI) measures how quickly
glucose (carbohydrate) is released into the
bloodstream after eating.
The body absorbs carbohydrates from
different foods at different rates. This
leads to varying effects on levels of blood
glucose and the hormone insulin, which
converts glucose into energy.
Because high—glycaemic index foods
increase blood glucose levels significantly,
they increase the body’s demand for insulin.
This can contribute to problems with the
pancreas (which produces insulin) that may
eventually lead to diabetes.
In addition, high—glycaemic index foods can
directly decrease the body’s response to
insulin by increasing the production of fatty
acids after meals.
Foods high on the glycaemic index, such as
rice and other simple carbohydrates like
white bread and noodles cause a rapid spike
and then a drop in blood glucose. But high-
fibre foods such as brown rice and beans,
which makes people feel fuller longer, keeps
blood sugar levels more stable.
. There are about 340,000 Nigerians living in
the UK with a potential demand for 120tons
of ofada rice. The fast food companies in
Nigeria are hungry for Ofada. The market in
the US, however seems to have an even
greater potential for growth than the one in
the UK.
Ofada Rice is packed with nutrients as it
contains well over 15 vitamins and minerals.
It is an excellent source of complex
carbohydrates, which are the best kind,
stored in muscles and gives us energy when
we need it. It contains high quality proteins,
especially when compared to other grains.
Rice contains all eight of the essential amino
acids (leucine, isoleucine, lysine, methionine,
phenylalanain, theronine, tryptophan and
valine) which help to build and maintain
muscle tissue and make up enzymes,
antibodies and hormones. Vitamin B1
(thiamine), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B3
(niacin), vitamin E, Choline, vitamins B6 and B9
(folate); albeit nutrients such as vitamin K
and betaine, are only found in Ofada rice.
