RICERA'S NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS

WHOLE GRAIN GOODNESS

Ricera Organic Rice Yogurt delivers all the nutrients of whole grain brown rice, along with an extra rice protein boost.

According to the Whole Grains Council, consuming at least 3 or more ounce-equivalents of whole grains per day can reduce the risk of several chronic diseases and may help with weight maintenance. Thus, daily intake of at least 3 ounce-equivalents of whole grains per day is recommended by substituting whole grains for refined grains.

Studies show that eating whole grains instead of (not in addition to!) refined grains lowers the risk of many chronic diseases. While benefits are most pronounced for those consuming at least 3 servings daily, some studies show reduced risks from as little as one serving daily. The message: every whole grain in your diet helps!

The main benefits documented by repeated studies include:

• stroke risk reduced 30-36%
• type 2 diabetes risk reduced 21-30%
• heart disease risk reduced 25-28%
• better weight maintenance
