Healthy Hints:
• Choose a low glycemic index rice, such as brown, basmati, mahatma or doongara, as these types of rice don’t raise your blood glucose levels as high as other types.
• Beans, such as the three-bean mix and kidney beans add protein in place of meat, contain no fat, provide fibre and help to keep your blood sugar levels under control. They can also help to reduce high cholesterol levels.
