Bulgur wheat, also known as cracked wheat, is a whole grain that has been partially cooked and then dried. It is commonly used in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine, and it offers several health benefits. Whole wheats, like bulgur, are richer in nutrients and vitamins than refined, processed wheat, which has been stripped of the many beneficial ingredients. Low in fat, high in fiber and rich in minerals, bulgur wheat is a healthy dietary choice. Here are some of the potential health benefits of bulgur wheat:
1. 1. Rich in nutrients: Bulgur wheat is a good source of various nutrients, including fiber, protein, B vitamins (such as niacin, thiamin, and vitamin B6), iron, magnesium, and manganese.
2. Aids Sleep
High levels of magnesium found in bulgur wheat make it a great sleep aid, due to the effect that magnesium can have on the production of certain relaxing neurotransmitters. When your body releases these neurotransmitters, it calms the nervous system and soothes the mind, helping to deliver restful and extended periods of sleep.
3. Supports weight management: The high fiber content of bulgur wheat can help you feel full and satisfied, which may aid in weight management by reducing overall calorie intake.
4. Bulgur wheat strengthens bones- and this is as a result of the presence of minerals like manganese, iron, and phosphorus which are needed to keep our bones healthy and prevent osteoporosis.
5. High in fiber: Bulgur wheat is high in dietary fiber, particularly insoluble fiber. Insoluble fiber stimulates the digestive system and hence promotes regular bowel movements, helps prevent constipation, and supports a healthy digestive system.
6. Promotes heart health: Apart from the effects that fiber has on the build-up of cholesterol in the heart, bulgur wheat can help cardiovascular health in other ways too. There is a significant amount of potassium in bulgur wheat, and this is a known vasodilator, which means that it can reduce the strain on blood vessels and arteries and lower blood pressure. For people who are at high risk of cardiovascular issues, bulgur wheat is a wise dietary choice that can keep that hypertension in check.
7. Bulgur wheat fights against childhood asthma Asthma
8. Bulgur wheat helps to boost the circulation of blood
9. . Helps stabilize blood sugar levels: Bulgur wheat has a low glycemic index (GI), which means it doesn't cause a rapid spike in blood sugar levels. The gradual release of glucose into the bloodstream helps regulate blood sugar levels, making it a suitable choice for individuals with diabetes or those aiming to prevent blood sugar imbalance
It's worth noting that while bulgur wheat is generally considered a healthy food, individual dietary needs, and preferences can vary. If you have any specific health concerns or dietary restrictions, it's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian before making significant changes to your diet.
