Bangkok--24 Jun--Department of Foreign Trade, Ministry of Commerce, Thailand
The Department of Foreign Trade, Ministry of Commerce, Thailand, has introduced a project called "Think RICE, Think THAILAND" to encourage international community to pay attention to consumer health and to raise awareness on the national crop by providing a wider range of knowledge about Thai rice. Today, by using modern technologies and cutting-edge innovations, Thai rice has been developed and progressed to meet the ever-changing demand of global consumers.
In a time when nutrition therapy trend is gaining popularity across the globe, Thailand's cold pressed virgin rice bran oil has become an option that suits the needs of health-conscious consumers due to its health properties, such as lowering your risk of cancer and heart disease, as well as combating wrinkles.
The Ministry of Commerce explained that through innovation and rigorous research and development, cold pressed virgin rice bran oil is now available in the form of cooking oil and ready-to-eat oil, both of which are brimming with nutritional values. Cold pressed virgin rice bran oil may prevent diseases, slow down aging and even help with losing weight because it contains as much phytosterol, gamma oryzanol, and natural vitamin E as 5 kilograms of spinach.
Phytosterol helps lower LDL cholesterol level while increasing HDL cholesterol level. It also improves body's circulatory system by decreasing triglyceride level and prevents plaque from building up in arteries, effectively reducing risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular diseases. Gamma oryzanol is an excellent antioxidant. It boosts body's cellular repairs, enhances immune system and balances hormones. Natural vitamin E helps fight off wrinkles by slowing down cellular degeneration while also rehydrating skin and hair.
