Heart-protective Properties
Millet should be included on your list of heart-healthy choices because of its status as a good source of magnesium. Magnesium has been shown in studies to reduce the severity of asthma, lower high blood pressure and reduce the risk of a heart attack.
Development and Repair of Body Tissue
The phosphorus provided by millet helps to form the mineral matrix of bone and aids in the metabolism of fats. Phosphorus is also an essential component of lipid-containing structures such as cell membranes and nervous system structures.

Millet can help lower the risk of type 2 diabetes. Magnesium in millet acts as a co-factor for more than 300 enzymes, including enzymes involved in the body's use of glucose and insulin secretion.
