Benefits of Quinoa for Lowering Triglycerides

How does the nutrition and health benefits of quinoa compare to whole grains, and does it aid in lowering triglycerides?

Here are the “superfood” videos I mentioned

Thanks for watching. I hope you’ll join in the evidence-based nutrition revolution!

Unfortunately, quinoa is significantly more expensive than rice. When I make brown rice, I mix in a little quinoa with some buckwheat and some lentils. I boil the rice separately like pasta and drain the liquid to reduce the arsenic content. I also use vegetable broth instead of water, as quinoa tastes rather plain without it.

For some reason I just got really excited that I live a vegan lifestyle

This came at a great time because I just cooked red and white quinoa yesterday. I can't wait to have it at lunch 😁😁😁 I wonder how they compare to beans?

Glad I just made some quinoa yesterday.

This is awesome to hear! My triglycerides are at 247 rn and I LOVE quinoa. Though I can only ever find the white variety in big amounts I always buy there's one and mix it in. I'll be on the look out for tricolor quinoa or just plain black and red. Thanks Greger!

I haven’t had quinoa in a while, maybe over a year. I liked to sprinkle it over my salads or mix it into dishes like chili

This simply proves the following theory: Joaquin - WAH-KEEN and Quinoa KEEN-WAH = both vegan, both awesome!

Quinoa is amazing and almost most of it its Organic cause it cames from the Andean mountains in Peru. except for the American quinoa..Tip guys. Only buy the one that cames from Peru is fur better.

What should i eat to reduce my bad cholesterole (amla..and?) ? I need to eat ottorvastatine 20 mg now..

[lovepeacehappy]

Toll, was für eine gute Alternative für Leute mit erhöhten Cholesterinwerten und Trigliseriden. Genaus so wirksam wie ein Medikament wirkt offenbar roter und schwarzer Quinoa.

I often get terrible heartburn from quinoa even though I soak it and get rid of the soapy stuff. Any ideas on how to avoid it?

Quinoa is life especially with a tofu and mushroom curry 😂

Best served with chocolate oatmilk and frozen raspberries/cherries in the morning

I have a big bowl of red quinoa and mug of hibiscus tea for breakfast. Can't even look at bacon and eggs anymore without feeling sick.

It seems we should chew quinoa many times and not just swallow because it is small enough to do so.
