Finger millet commonly known as ragi has many benefits as compared to other cereals.
It is a good source of calcium. It helps in bone development in growing children and prevent osteoporosis in women. You can replace calcium pills with ragi kanji or porridge.
It helps those who are willing to loose weight. In ragi natural fat is less. It contains amino acid which reduces appetite.
It has high dietry fibre. It also helps to decrease cholesterol level.
Diabetic patients can trust ragi to create a restrained build in glucose levels.
Good source of natural iron. Vitamin c is known to aid absorption of iron. Once ragi is allowed to sprout vitamin c increase and hence absorption of iron into blood stream.
Common ailments like anxiety, insomnia, headache, depression can be battled with ragi.
It also decrease blood pressure.
People with celiac disease need to take gluten free diet can depends on ragi as it is gluten free.
It is good for lactating mothers.
But one thing should be kept in mind that it should not be taken into higher quantity as it can increase oxalic acid in body. So I advice patients with urinary calculi and kidney stones not to take ragi.
