'Golden Ratio' for Domestic Grains Found to Help Prevent Chronic Diseases
Recently, the number of people suffering from chronic diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure has been steadily increasing in Korean society. In this context, the Rural Development Administration has researched and announced a 'golden ratio' of domestic grains to protect public health and revitalize domestic agriculture. This research is garnering significant interest from those seeking to prevent diseases through healthy eating habits.
According to the research results, mixing various grains such as barley, oats, and sorghum in specific ratios is highly effective for health. In particular, this golden ratio was found to play a major role in helping control blood sugar and reducing inflammation in the body. This provides an easy way for busy modern people to naturally manage their health through the rice they eat every day.
This research is expected to have a positive impact on the food industry as a whole, beyond just providing health information. The government plans to transfer this technology to food companies and support the market entry of various processed grain products. As consumers gain easier access to grains through these efforts, the consumption of domestic grains is expected to increase naturally.
Furthermore, the increase in domestic grain consumption is expected to be a great help to domestic farms facing difficulties. This is because as more consumers look for high-quality domestic grains instead of imported ones, farmers' incomes can stabilize and the competitiveness of domestic agriculture can be enhanced.
In the future, it is expected that healthy domestic grains will be seen more frequently on our dining tables. A healthy diet is one of the best ways to prevent chronic diseases. The government plans to continue pursuing various research and policies for the promotion of public health and the development of agriculture.
