News Topical, Digital Desk : The white and light yellow coloured small grained grain Jowar (Sorghum) has been around us for centuries. Due to the natural elements present in it, you can easily include it in your diet. This grain, which can be cooked like quinoa or rice, can be used as flour.
Apart from this, you can also use it like popcorn. Like the ways of making and eating it, its qualities are also versatile. Today in this article we will tell you how jowar is beneficial for you.
There is less risk of diseases
It is rich in polyphenol antioxidants, which reduce cell damage and also reduce inflammation caused by oxidative stress and free radicals.
Maintains a healthy weight
Jowar is considered a good source of soluble and insoluble fiber. High fiber makes your stomach feel full for a long time. This helps you lose weight. A study found that obese people who ate one-third cup of jowar for eight weeks lost more weight than those who ate wheat.
Builds muscles
One serving of jowar contains about 10 grams of protein, which is double that of quinoa. It also contains more protein than chicken. It helps in building healthy muscles, organs and tissues. This is a good option for people who take a plant-based diet.
Boosts energy
It is one of the best sources of B vitamins. This micronutrient boosts energy naturally. It converts the carbohydrates present in food into fuel. Your body cannot store this water-soluble vitamin, so experts recommend including it in your diet every day.
Makes bones and immune system stronger
This whole grain rich in minerals helps in many body functions. The copper and iron present in it protects you from anemia and strengthens your immune system. Jowar contains a mineral called manganese, which makes bones strong and brain healthy. Also, the phosphorus present in it is considered good for bone health.
