Potential Health Benefits of Rice Bran Oil
Rice bran oil is a rich source of vitamins and minerals. Research has found a number of potential health benefits to consuming rice bran oil:
Lower Cholesterol
For people with high cholesterol, substituting rice bran oil for other fats in their diet may improve health outcomes. Several studies have shown it to be effective in lowering cholesterol. This effect may be due to the high concentration of Vitamin E in rice bran oil.
Lower Blood Pressure
Rice bran oil can help to lower blood pressure, especially when used in combination with antihypertensive medication. One study reported that a blend of this oil and sesame oil resulted in a significant reduction in blood pressure and cholesterol.
Blood Sugar Management
In addition to lowering cholesterol and blood pressure, rice bran oil can be effective against high blood sugar for people with Type II Diabetes. In a randomized study, a blend of 80 % rice bran oil and 20 % sesame oil showed significant reduction in fasting and postprandial glucose markers (the amount of sugar in your blood after a meal) after 4 weeks.
Oral Health
Rice bran oil may give you better breath when used for oil pulling. Although the practice of oil pulling is traditionally done using sesame oil, rice bran oil was found to be effective in reducing halitosis (bad breath) when used.
