Nutritional value, efficacy and function of rice
Tanida Meng (advocate of natural cereal food) replied:

Rice is an indispensable part of China people's daily diet. It is one of the favorite staple foods of many people, and is widely loved because of its digestibility, rich nutrition and low price. The following are the main contents of rice nutrition, efficacy and function:

1. Main nutrients

The main nutrients in rice include carbohydrates, protein, vitamin B, minerals and dietary fiber.

Carbohydrates: Rice contains a lot of carbohydrates (mainly starch), which is the main source of human energy.

② protein: Although the content of protein in rice is relatively low, moderate consumption of rice every day can provide essential amino acids and protein.

③ Vitamin B: Rice is rich in vitamin B 1, vitamin B2 and vitamin B6, which can promote metabolism, enhance body resistance and improve immunity.

Minerals: Rice is also rich in important minerals such as potassium, magnesium, zinc and iron, which plays an important role in human growth and development, bone health and immune system.

5 Dietary fiber: Rice is rich in dietary fiber, which helps to promote intestinal peristalsis and detoxification and protect intestinal health.

2. Main efficacy

The main functions of rice are:

① Provide the energy needed by the body: A large number of carbohydrates make it the main energy source of the human body.

② Stabilizing blood sugar: The carbohydrate content in rice is high, but the digestion and absorption speed is slow, which is easy to stabilize blood sugar.

3 help to lose weight: less fat, low calories, easy to be full, so you can lightly season or replace it with high-calorie food.

④ Lowering cholesterol: Dietary fiber, potassium and other elements in rice not only help to regulate the synthesis of cholesterol, but also help to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

⑤ Promote gastrointestinal peristalsis: Because it contains dietary fiber, long-term consumption of rice can also play a laxative role.

3. Applicable people and matters needing attention

Rice is nutritious and suitable for most people, especially the following people:

① High-intensity workers, students and athletes who need to supplement protein and carbohydrates.

② People with gastrointestinal indigestion, such as halitosis, constipation and diarrhea.

③ People who are prone to chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, and people who need to lose weight or control their weight.

Of course, you should also pay attention to the following points when eating rice:

① Reasonable intake: The amount of food should not be excessive. If it is matched with other grains, it should be matched reasonably.

② storage method: rice cannot be sealed in Chen Fang for a long time; Moisture absorption usually occurs in winter; So it is best to store it in a dry and ventilated place.

③ Selection of color: The purer the color of edible rice, the less impurities, while the polished rice produced by conventional processing may remove most of the cortex, bran and germ, so it is recommended to choose a healthier brown rice. ?

In a word, the nutritional value of rice is very high, so we should take it reasonably in diet, pay attention to collocation and storage, and avoid the problem of excessive consumption.
