Ragi has a high concentration of dietary fibres and polyphenols. This concentration reduces the pace of digestion, which in turn reduces the blood sugar levels.

Not just diabetes, consuming ragi is also a great way to keep you cholesterol levels in check. Ragi prevents the blockage of blood vessels, reducing the risk of stroke and other heart related diseases. It contains amino acids Lecithin and Methionine, responsible for reducing excess fat from the liver.
