Health and Diet
Rice is a great option for most meals. It's quick, easy to prepare, and nutritious too. Brown rice is high in fiber, phytochemicals, thiamin, niacin and iron. Wild rice, also high in fiber, can add an interesting flavor and texture to a meal. It's also great for leftovers just reheat with a little water or broth.

Fitness
When you plateau or have problems losing those last 5 or 10 pounds, cross training can get you losing again. Cross training is a way of adding diversity to your workout. This is not a new concept. Many athletes that compete in triathlons, marathons and Olympic events have been cross training since ancient times.
