Is porridge good or rice good?

Drinking porridge nourishes the stomach, eating hurts the stomach?

Drinking porridge is easy to starve, eating is enough?

Drinking porridge is easy to hyperglycemia?

So, the question of the century has arisen: is porridge good or rice good? Dr. Clove tells you that the answer depends on different situations.

Breakfast: Porridge is better,

Because eating porridge can replenish water.

Qing Dynasty talent (food) son (goods) Yuan Mei once described:

Seeing water but not rice is not porridge. It is not porridge to see rice but not water. It must make the water and rice harmonious, soft and greasy, and then it is called porridge.

The rice-water ratio (weight ratio) of rice is 1: 1.2 ~ 1.5, and porridge is really [parallel goods], which can be as high as 1: 8 ~ 10. Even coarse cereal porridge, it is generally 1: 6 ~ 8.

Therefore, the water content of porridge is usually above 80%, drinking a small bowl of porridge is equivalent to supplementing 200 milliliters of water.

After getting up in the morning to urinate, defecate and exhale at night, skin evaporation, etc., it is estimated that 500 milliliters of water have been lost. Therefore, everyone is used to drinking milk, soya-bean milk, porridge and noodles in soup for breakfast. This is the instinctive need of the body.

Not to say that porridge is easier to raise blood sugar than rice?

Porridge is cooked more thoroughly than rice. Starch is dissolved from rice grains, which is easy to raise blood sugar. Therefore, it is generally not recommended for diabetics to eat porridge.

But!

Drinking 1 ~ 2 bowls of porridge is actually only half a bowl of rice, which will not make blood sugar soar too high. Moreover, porridge is not equal to white rice porridge.

There are hyperglycemia, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, suitable for eating coarse cereal porridge; Generally healthy people also recommend eating coarse cereal porridge to prevent the three highs.

Intimate tips for eating coarse cereal porridge:

    Porridge must have more than half of miscellaneous beans (red beans, mung beans, kidney beans, peas, etc.); If oats are added, the taste will be better and it will be more conducive to controlling blood sugar. Attention should also be paid to moderate amount of coarse cereal porridge.

Chinese Food: It’s More Suitable to Eat

As mentioned earlier, the amount of one bowl of rice is equivalent to 3-4 bowls of porridge.

However, Chinese food is the key meal connecting the preceding and the following in a day. Generally, it is recommended to have a variety of varieties, meat and vegetable collocation, and pay attention to a few dishes and a soup. Unfortunately, our stomach capacity is limited. If we only drink a small bowl of porridge, we can only get a poor little heat and nutrition. If we drink more bowls, we may not be able to hold it.

It is necessary to ensure energy and eat a variety of foods. It is recommended to eat at noon.

Didn’t you say that drinking porridge nourishes your stomach? Why don’t you eat porridge?

In fact, it is not. The stomach is not raised by certain foods. The key is to be regular and suitable for oneself.

Only some patients with gastrointestinal diseases or poor digestion need less laborious liquid food such as porridge at special times. For others, porridge or rice, no one said more nourishing the stomach.

Dinner: Porridge and rice are all acceptable, don’t forget potatoes.

Eating rice at every meal is a dream of people when they were just rich, and it has become a habit now. However, in order to pursue better national health, the Chinese Nutrition Society recommends:

Each person consumes 250-400g of cereal and potato food every day, including 50-150g of whole grains and miscellaneous beans and 50-100g of potatoes.

That is to say, staple food should consider whole grains, miscellaneous beans and potatoes, enrich varieties and increase nutrition. If coarse cereal porridge and coarse cereal rice are not used to eating, sweet potatoes, potatoes and taro can be added together to cook porridge, or vegetables can be added instead of half a bowl of rice.

Not to say that drinking more porridge can reduce weight? Can we just drink porridge for dinner?

Porridge contains a lot of water and is bulky. Temporary satiety is stronger than rice, which can make fat friends with excellent appetite feel [satiety] is a happy thing.

100 grams of raw rice contains about 330 kilocalories of energy, and nearly 300 grams of rice can be boiled with water. Porridge has more water and less dry goods, so the calories are lower. 100 grams of rice contains about 116 kilocalories of heat, while 100 grams of porridge is only 46 kilocalories.

If white rice is replaced by coarse cereals and bean porridge with stronger satiety, it will not feel hungry, will not reduce nutrition, and will reduce the energy in staple food, which is beneficial to weight loss.

But!

For some young people who can solve a dinner with one bowl of porridge, I would like to say that you are too irresponsible: nutrition is so important, just like the raw material for building a house, cutting corners is a shoddy project.

No matter eating porridge or eating, you should match it with enough vegetables and a proper amount of fish/shrimp/meat/bean products (foods rich in high-quality protein).

Only in this way can we ensure nutrition, diversity, moderation and balance, and eat healthily. Health is your responsibility!
