| One of the ultimate foods for hydration that I have found is Short Grain Brown Rice. Its cooked with water and bulks up, but is a good food as it sends a reassuring message to the colon to take the dehydration alert off and it can be combined easily with vegetables and other protein sources. |

I know, but there have actually be experiments done on it. I did one when I studied nutrition with short grain brown rice, and the short grain was actually better than the long grain. I think we found out that the long grain is actually processed more, but it goes to show you more is not always better.
The thing I like about it, is that it pretty much combines with everything. Its slow burning being a grain, and so you don't get an insulin response like you do with fruits etc and its quite filling. Some people do find it challenging digesting grains though, and if you do experience this you might want to opt for something called millet. |

Wow thanks for that extra bit of info.. I only eat brown rice or basmatic rice but was always lead to believe that long grain was the better option. Next time I will definitely pick up short grain.
Thanks again  |
