5 Surprising Health Benefits Of Quinoa

Quinoa remains one of the most popular foods consumed by health conscious individuals. Not only is it packed with nutrition and health promoting abilities, but it is one of the rare plant based foods that contains all non essential amino acids, which makes it a great choice for almost any diet. Now, lets discuss the amazing health benefits of quinoa.

1. First, quinoa is very nutrient dense and contains good levels of numerous vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. Quinoa is a good source of manganese, phosphorus, folate, riboflavin, magnesium, iron and many more. It is also high in dietary fibre and protein.

2. Quinoa is also an excellent source of unique and potent antioxidants and plant compounds that can provide numerous benefits, such as boosting our immune system and reducing inflammation. It is very high in flavonoid antioxidants. Quinoa is high in unique and potent antioxidants such as kaempferol and quercetin, which provide tremendous anti-inflammatory benefits.

3. Consuming quinoa is also a great choice for those individuals with diabetes or those who are at risk of developing diabetes. This is because quinoa is well known as a low GI food. Quinoa can help to control blood sugar and will not create blood sugar spikes like high GI foods and carbohydrates will, which can increase risk factors of developing type 2 diabetes. The soluble fibre in quinoa is also helpful for reducing blood sugar levels.

4. It can also provide digestive health benefits when consumed regularly due to its high levels of dietary fibre and many nutrients. Quinoa contains both soluble and insoluble fibre, which can help promote a healthy digestive system. It can help to promote regularity, reduce symptoms of constipation, reduce inflammation throughout the digestive system and help good bacteria in the gut to thrive.

5. Lastly, it must be discussed that quinoa is a great source of protein for those individuals on a plant based diet or do not eat meat. Quinoa is one of the few exceptions when it comes to plant based proteins in that it has a sufficient amount of all nine amino acids, which makes it a complete protein.
