The Dish that Slashes your Diabetes Risk
Make a stir-fry with brown rice and you’ll be serving up some diabetes prevention. Researchers in Rome found that a veggie-packed diet lowered insulin resistance-a precursor to diabetes-by 25 percent.
And a study from the Harvard School of Public Health showed that people who ate a cup or more of brown rice a week had an 11 percent lower chance of developing diabetes than those who ate less. “The antioxidants in whole grains and vegetables prevent cell damage,” says SAPE contributing editor Cynthia Sass, R.D., “which can hinder your body’s ability to process insulin.”
Amy’s tip: Try Amy’s Brown Rice and Veggies bowl or Black eyed Pea bowl for a quick and tasty brown rice and veggie combo.

To start off, I'm the stereotypical American male. I like red meat, pizza, beer and I'm a firefighter. A few months ago I noticed Amy's Shepherds Pie at the grocery store. I LOVE shepherds pie, so I bought one. I was disappointed initially to find out it was all veggies. I tried it anyway and I was truly suprised. Now, I can't get enough of Amy's products. I just had their broccoli & cheese in a pocket and a Teriyaki Bowl for the first time. Incredible, simply incredible. Their all veggie pizza is out of this world as well. I can't wait to try more of their foods. Kudos Amy's on making such incredible foods. (and don't tell anyone but not only do they taste good, they're healthy too)
