Many athletes and workout fitnatics know that even though processed-grain products like white bread have their place in a diet (such as postworkout because it transports protein quickly throught the blood stream and into the muscles), whole grains like oatmeal and brown rice are generally a better choice for most meals. But there is a new contender: Quinoa.

Quinoa isn’t technically a grain. It is the seed of the Goosefoot plant, a relative of spinach. It is physically similar to grains, but can be ground into flour, which makes it a pseudograin.

Quinoa dominates just about all whole grains because it contains lysine, one of the nine essential amino acids that you must get from your diet because your body cannot create it.

Other grains have some lysine content, but not enough to count; Quinoa’s lysine content is sufficient for it to be considered a complete protein. If you make Quinoa and add it to a dish of chicken breast, you are not only getting the benefits that a whole grain offers (no insulin spike, increased satiety, reduced cardio vascular disease, improved gastrointestinal health); you are also getting an extra serving of high quality protein.

Quinoa also has higher levels of micronutrients that are implicated in muscle growth and repair. Magnesium not only helps maintain the muscle you have, but also plays a role in creating more muscle. Potassium, a mineral that assists in pulling fluid from the bloodstream into muscle cells, is also important to recovery after a workout. And folate, which is one of the B vitamins is required for muscles to make new cells.

The perfect carb? I think so. By adding this to your diet can significantly help you to drop bodyfat. When combined with the other tools: exercise, cardio, and personal development, you increase the success of your physical transformation ten fold. As stated before, Quinoa offers the benefits of reducing bodyfat, losing weight, no insulin spike which truly helps people with Type 2 diabetes, fatigue, erectile dysfunction - directly related to to the above conditions, and the list goes on. Oh yes, the perfect carbohydrate.
