The millet is not the name of a specific grain, but a generic term that applies to a series of totally different plants. Which is the healthiest
«Millets are Highly nutritious but very ignored as a main source of food mainly due to lack of awareness. » I’m listening of ancient grains? The honey are not playing. It could be said that they are The first grains cultivated by humanityhave an appointment Back not only 5,000 years, but perhaps 10,000.
Why do you with them and not just the millet? I had no idea that «millet» No the name of a specific grain. In fact, darling It is a generic term that not only apply to different species but several totally different plants. There are «Major and minor millets», the pearl millet, which is what most people think like millet, and also to the miests, a fox and finger tail, which are completely different grains. Although they look Similar, they are not the same, as you can see below already 1:05 in my video Studies on Nutrition of Millet: Is it a healthy grain?.
The fiber is one of the main things we are looking for in the entire grain, and the fiber content of Kodo Millet is Out of the lists. But, compared to other grains, honey with finger and slut tail also exceed the group. However, keep in mind that the pearl millet (the one that most people think like millet) is really on the low side. But when observing the polyphenol content, even the simple millet surpasses the other grains, including the sorghum, which I previously promised how much polyphenol contains. But, again, Kodo Millet seems to win the day, as can be seen below already 1:39 in me video.
However, when it comes to total antioxidants, kodo and honey with the fingers are Comparably high, as shown here and 1:43.
When it comes to nutrition, it is said that the finger millet have eight times more calcium than other grains, but, for me, it seems that has Ten times calcium. It is just out of the lists, as you can see here and 1:55 in me video.
Also has three times more calcium than milk. Some of the honey are also exceptionally high in iron. The regular millet is high, but the corral millet has approximately five times more iron than the steak.
So, it is nutritious, but what about specific potential health benefits? In medical literature, you can read statements such as: honey «can prevent cardiovascular disease by reducing plasma triglycerides in hyperlipidemic rats.» But who cares if foods reduce cardiovascular disease in rodents, except for those with pets or pet mice?
An epidemiological study in China found Lower esophageal cancer mortality rates in areas where residents ate more millet and sorghum, compared to corn and wheat. However, that may have been due to avoiding a polluting carcinogenic fungus than to the benefits of mining. The studies have It is shown That the honey can be effective against the proliferation of cancer cells in a Petri plate, with kodo and mions of prosper video, blows Under the growth of cancer cells, but leaving normal cells alone. In addition, it was found that the honey reduce The growth of colon cancer cells, human breast cancer cells and cancer cells of human liver, and also potentially aid To prevent metastasis inhibiting migration of cancer cells. However, my patients are not pets or Petri dishes, and to date, there have been no clinical cancer tests with millet.
Are Is there any unique attribute that promotes health? Some know Finger millet for its health benefits, such as reducing blood sugar and cholesterol and having anti-ulcent characteristics, but anti-ulcular study researchers cite It only points out that some of the areas with a low incidence of ulcers were also regions where residents eat millet, as shown here and 3:49 in my videoAnd that is far from establishing cause and effect.
And the cholesterol reducing study aforementioned? He explore What happens when you take raw tail tendons and soak them in sugar and millet! The benefits to reduce blood are However, legitimate. «Apart from the fact that honey contain Gluten «, which is good for 1 or 2 percent of people who have celiac disease or non -celiac gluten sensitivity,» honey can also be exploited in the management of type II diabetes due to their hypoglycemia [blood-sugar-lowering] Property, as reported by several studies on mylos and food based on millet ”, with real people, which we will cover below.
Isn’t it amazing that millet is not really a grain but a generic term? I learn something new every day, and make videos about it.
I have some millet recipes in The kitchen book as not dietIncluding the millet risotto with mushrooms, white beans and spinach. Find it in your local library or wherever you get your books. (As always, all the income of my books are donated to charity). You can also replace millet with barley and/or rye in my basic Brol bowl.
This is part of an extended series, which includes three other videos listed in the publications related below.
