Millet Nutrition

Millet is one of the four gluten-free grain-like seeds on the Body Ecology program.

Some of the key reasons millet is part of your healthy Body Ecology diet is because it:

• Does NOT feed pathogenic yeast (candida),
  
• Acts as a prebiotic to feed important microflora in your inner ecosystem
  
• Provides serotonin to calm and soothe your moods.
  
• Helps hydrate your colon to keep you regular.
  
• Is alkaline.
  
• Digests easily.

Millet is full of nutrients your body needs, such as:

• Magnesium
  
• Calcium
  
• Maganese
  
• Tryptophan
  
• Phoshorus
  
• Fiber
  
• B vitamins
  
• Antioxidants

And that's not all. Many studies have been done on millet nutrition to identify its benefits for your health. Here are some of the findings:

• Magnesium in millet can help reduce the affects of migraines and heart attacks.
  
• Niacin (vitamin B3) in millet can help lower cholesterol.
  
• Phosphorus in millet helps with fat metabolism, body tissue repair and creating energy (phosphorus is an essential component of adenosine triphosphate or ATP, a precursor to energy in your body)
