We already know the quinoa health benefits in our diet like its protein content and nutritional value but we never really focus on what this super food can do if you are hypertensive or diabetic. Yes you heard it right, quinoa will be a great addition to your daily routine even if you are dealing with hypertension and Type 2 diabetes.
The uncooked quinoa has less calories but more manganese, magnesium, iron, tryptophan, copper and phosphorous. If you are worried about serving it in variation then you shouldn't because quinoa is probably one of the most versatile food we have. You can serve it for breakfast, lunch or supper and it will not alter the taste of other ingredients.
Heart Health
One notable quinoa health benefit I found is its ability to relax the blood vessels. How so? As mentioned above, it is packed with magnesium and we all know that low levels of this in our body can lead to hypertension, ischemic heart disease and heart arrhythmias. Studies show that a serving of quinoa every breakfast dramatically reduces the risk of heart failure.
Quinoa contains a lot of phytonutrients whose activity has gone unrecognized because a lot of research methods tend to overlook this fact.
What about the quinoa health benefits for Type 2 diabetes? Quinoa is loaded with magnesium and this mineral serves as a co-factor for more than 300 enzymes and one of these enzymes is involved in the body's utilization of glucose and insulin secretion. Certain studies confirm that regular consumption of quinoa and other whole grains reduces the risk of Type 2 diabetes. If you get tired of eating quinoa, you can add low-fat cheese for variation. You can actually add pretty much anything you want like chopped nuts, fresh fruits, vegetables, lean meat and seafood. You don't have to eat quinoa alone. You can even bake bread using quinoa flour.
