Steady blood sugar matters here, since sharp rises are one of the ways ordinary food keeps inflammation going. Their soluble fibre also feeds the bacteria in the large intestine, and a cooked cup brings enough protein to leave the meat out of the meal altogether.<\/p>\n<p>Quinoa is a seed and not a cereal, which changes what a bowl of it gives you. It carries a full set of the amino acids your body cannot build, something few plants manage, and because you eat the whole seed, the magnesium, the fibre and the quercetin in its coat stay where they are. Quercetin is a plant pigment that works against the damage behind inflammation. Quinoa is still a starchy side at about 220 calories a cooked cup, so serve it as one. Next time you would have boiled rice, cook quinoa instead and stir cooked lentils through it, and rinse the quinoa under cold water first, because its coat carries bitter saponins that taste faintly of soap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neither lentils nor quinoa is less inflammatory than the other: both score 2 on the inflammation scale.
