Grayn Rice Cooker: Healthier Rice that makes rice with reduced sugars

[johnny333]

For those who like rice but concerned about the high GI(glycemic index) of rice e.g. if you are suffering from diabetes, should take a look at the Grayn Rice cooker. It is made in Malaysia. It is expensive compared to other rice cookers but you can also use it to cook pasta, noodles, potatoes, etc

Here's a review of the product http://www.rebeccasaw.com/grayns-rice-cooker-malaysia-review-price-demo-how-to-use/

Here is Grayn's website http://www.grayns.com

Because the science is not dangerous but sugar is. Diabetics can eat rice?

depends whether you're on hypo or not. keeping a sweet is handy when you hit hypo is a safe bet.

Stop eating all grass-based foods and you will see your blood pressure and sugar levels return to normal.

Eat brown rice at least. No need to buy such cookers for that

Minimise grains and eat green veggies for "starch"

I've tried to replace rice in my diet. Have tried sweet potato. Have also tried spaghetti & rice that is made of quinoa. Have also tried using brown rice & Basmati rice which has a lower GI. Want to find out if using this cooker will reduce the starch even more?

This cooker is suppose to be able to reduce the starch from rice, noodles, potato,..etc. It may not be practical if you eat out most of the time but in my case I eat 90% of the time at home & where possible I use organic. So if this cooker can reduce starch, I think it will be worth the investment because I am already suffering from diabetes.

Diabetes is a very BIG problem in Malaysia & Singapore & many blame it on a diet of rice. So this can be a useful product if you your diet consists of rice.

I was actually looking for a simple rice cooker when I came across this cooker. Now I will have to do further homework & see if this is something I will get.

The key is also to exercise to regulate insulin level. I see many sinkies who can't do without rice or some sort of carbo I their diet. but it's really OK if we exercise 45minutes a day. just some stretching or brisk walking can do

The above article explains it. The reason why it is such a problem in Singapore/Malaysia is because the rice is piled high and deep.

The above article explains it.

Boss,
the way in which one partake the meals matters as well- folks in SE Asia tend to not ingest the food slowly, they wolf it down and that results in overeating before they feel full.
Genetic disposition aside, these eating habits could be related to learned behaviour passed down from our forefathers.

Stress levels do play a part as well, you're right to say that regular exercise can help and that why I say- tantric sex is the bestest!

Forget fancy diets, supplements, Viagra etc. Exercise is the panacea for everything.

Get on a bike or treadmill daily for 45 minutes 5 days a week and all will be well. One session per week should be high intensity intervals.

That was what I used to believe. However, exercising can only strengthen the heart but not the stomach nor the liver. These 2 organs will give way as we age. It will fail faster if we live to eat. All kind of illness will then pop up. Personally, I got acid reflux, gout ... Thankfully, it was a wake up call to take care of my diet and to use supplement to lessen the burden for my digestive system.
