Low carb chicken and rice recipe<\/strong> \u2013 Cauliflower \u201crice\u201d is something I\u2019ve seen around the low carb eating community for a while now. It\u2019s not like I\u2019ve been wary of it, I\u2019m a huge cauliflower fan, but I never thought I\u2019d ever make it. Let me tell you, I\u2019m so glad I finally did.<\/p>\n

Making Chicken and Cauliflower Fried \u201cRice\u201d is super easy. Cut the head of cauliflower into florets and use your blender or food processor to break it down into rice pieces and that\u2019s it! Super easy. I already had some cooked chicken in the fridge, making this even simpler and healthier.<\/p>\n

Chicken and cauliflower are two foods that bring many health benefits.<\/p>\n

Cauliflower<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like many members of the brassica plant family, cauliflower is well-known in the world of cancer research. That\u2019s because scientists have been using compounds isolated from cauliflower to turn off cancer genes for more than a decade. Not only are the plant chemicals in cauliflower good for preventing cancer, they can also reduce inflammation\u2014a leading cause of heart disease.<\/p>\n

Cauliflower is rich in a powerful compound called glucosinolates. These cancer-fighting compounds stop the creation of cancer-causing substances inside cells before they can spread throughout the body. When glucosinolates are present, they activate cellular defenses, as well as detoxifying enzymes and antioxidants. At the same time, they turn off cancer-related genes and make your DNA less likely to reproduce harmful DNA sequences. When these compounds are given to human liver cells that are cancerous, the liver cells automatically trigger programmed cell death when exposed to glucosinolates and die.<\/p>\n

Another compound found in abundance in cauliflower, indole-3-carbinol<\/a>. Indole-3-carbinol is unique in that it can target estrogen-positive breast cancer cells, and serves as an anti-tumor agent. This is great news for many women and yet another reason to eat cauliflower at your next meal.<\/p>\n

Indole-3-carbinol has been studied extensively, and has also been shown to cause programmed cell death in acute myeloid leukemia cells. But the benefits don\u2019t stop there. This plant chemical has a potential impact on inflammatory diseases. In animal models, this compound may be therapeutic in inflammatory bowel disease and colitis-associated colon cancer. Nonspecific colon cancer may also be slowed and possibly stopped by indole-3-carbinol. That\u2019s great news for people who suffer from a variety of digestive issues.<\/p>\n

Cauliflower isn\u2019t alone in these acts of health heroism. All members of the cruciferous family\u2014Brussels sprouts, cabbage, broccoli\u2014are cancer-protective and anti-inflammatory. They\u2019re all rich in fiber and health-promoting compounds that support liver health and cellular detoxification.<\/p>\n

Chicken<\/strong><\/p>\n

The staple food of every non-vegetarian, chicken in any form, be it stew, soup or salad is great for your health. The most common poultry in the world, chicken has been domesticated and consumed as food for thousands of years and rightly so. The health benefits of eating chicken are enormous. Not only is it a rich source of a variety of essential nutrients and vitamins, it is also reputed to be one of the safest meats available as it is least associated with any kind of side effects. Here are five more reasons why you should bite into your chicken more often.<\/p>\n

1) natural anti-depressant<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve long found comfort in a big bowl of chicken soup, haven\u2019t we? Chicken, like turkey, is rich in amino acids, particularly tryptophan, which gives us a warm, comforting feeling. In fact, if you\u2019re feeling down, eating some poultry will boost your serotonin levels (a hormone that controls depression) in your brain, improve your mood and reduce stress, and help you fall asleep.<\/p>\n

2) high in lean protein<\/p>\n

Chicken is one of the biggest sources of protein \u2013 and not just any protein. It is full of lean proteins, which are the highest quality proteins and are extremely important for our body growth. These low-fat proteins also play an important role in helping obese people lose weight quickly. Since proteins are also known as the building blocks of muscle, chicken is also a great source if you are looking to build muscle.<\/p>\n

3) Keeps bones healthy<\/p>\n

Chicken also contains phosphorus, which, along with calcium, keeps your bones healthy. In fact, it\u2019s an excellent food source for men with weak bones. It\u2019s also rich in the mineral selenium, which reduces the risk of developing arthritis later in life. Want to kick some butt? Simple, eat chicken!<\/p>\n

4) Protects against cancer<\/p>\n

Eat chicken to keep cancer at bay! Chicken is rich in vitamin B3 (niacin), a vitamin that is essential for cancer protection. A small serving of chicken can meet your niacin needs for the entire day. The selenium in chicken is also believed to protect against cancer.<\/p>\n

5) increases metabolism<\/p>\n

Vitamin B6 stimulates metabolic cellular response, which means eating chicken will keep your energy levels high, while the metabolism-burning calories can keep you at a healthy weight. If you\u2019re starting to feel a little tired, try eating some chicken to give your body a boost of nutrients, protein, and calories that will also keep your energy levels soaring.<\/p>\n
