Drinking only rice porridge in the morning is far from enough to support the human body.
In fact, rice porridge, rice, noodles and so on. Can only be regarded as a common staple food in a meal, rich in water and carbohydrates, and few other nutrients. Many people drink rice porridge in the morning, with fried dough sticks, steamed stuffed buns, hand-grabbed cakes, miscellaneous grains pancakes and so on. However, the proportion of carbohydrates in these breakfast combinations still accounts for the bulk. In essence, carbohydrates are 1+ 1, and protein and vitamins are basically lacking.
In fact, except for babies who only drink breast milk for six months, it is far from enough for any normal person to eat only one kind of food to support his nutritional needs. Modern nutrition suggests that a healthy breakfast should account for 30% of the daily energy supply. Moreover, in order to achieve a balanced nutrition, we should not only drink porridge and eat staple food, but also eat vegetables and fruits, supplement vitamins and dietary fiber, drink milk, eat eggs and even order beef and chicken, and supplement protein and high-quality fat.
Dr Zhang Wenhong suggested eating more dairy products, such as eggs and milk, because there is too little protein in rice porridge. Because if the body lacks protein for a long time, and the total supply can't meet the requirements, there will be a decline in immunity, and even affect people's normal metabolism, leading to child growth retardation and affecting women's menstruation.
Compared with coarse grains, polished rice and pasta represented by rice porridge also lack B vitamins. In addition, the carbohydrates in rice are particularly full, and a small bowl feels like water. This means that you can only leave less room for vegetables, and the calcium, magnesium, vitamin C and dietary fiber in vegetables will have an impact on our heart, skin and sleep. Protein, vitamins, dietary fiber and a bowl of rice porridge can't satisfy you.
Drinking only rice porridge in the morning is faster than increasing sugar content such as rice and noodles.
In addition, only drinking rice porridge can increase sugar faster, even faster than rice and noodles, which are also staple foods. If you have the habit of doing morning exercises every day, it is recommended to drink some rice porridge before exercise, and don't let your body go on an empty stomach to prevent hypoglycemia. But for people with diabetes or overweight, eating a bowl of rice porridge in the morning, gelatinized starch will make blood sugar rise rapidly, which is not suitable for strict control of blood sugar.
If you are a person who firmly believes that eating porridge can nourish the stomach, you need to understand that switching to hot water or hot soup will have the same effect. What makes you feel "nourishing your stomach" is only warm liquid food, not porridge. And if you only eat soft and rotten food such as porridge, your stomach doesn't need too much force, and it may deteriorate after a long time. For some people with gastrointestinal reflux, drinking too much liquid is not conducive to disease recovery. So people who really need to nourish their stomachs, please listen to the doctor's advice.
Therefore, Dr. Zhang Wenhong particularly emphasized that teenagers should have a good breakfast instead of porridge. Compared with rice porridge with single nutrition, milk and eggs are rich in high-quality calcium and protein, which is more beneficial to teenagers with long bodies, busy office workers and middle-aged and elderly people with low immunity.
The nutrition of milk+eggs+sandwiches is much higher than that of rice porridge+pickles.
Studies have found that eating more dairy products can reduce high blood pressure. Children and teenagers, in particular, have limited food intake, and after drinking a large bowl (even an oversized bowl in some families), there is not enough room to stuff other foods. In this way, rice porridge+pickles is far less cost-effective than milk+eggs+sandwiches, and soybean milk+eggs+staple food+half an apple.
The study of national dietary diversity in 20 18 found that the dietary structure of almost all the cities surveyed showed the lack of nutrients such as protein, zinc, calcium and fiber to varying degrees. So we have to understand that rice porridge can make people full, but it can't make people eat healthily.
