The main nutrients of rice and flour are similar, with the most carbohydrates, followed by protein, fat, and some trace elements and vitamins.

According to the data in China Food Composition Table, compared with rice with the same weight, most nutritional components in flour are higher, such as dietary fiber, vitamins, calcium and potassium.

The contents of dietary fiber, vitamin B 1, vitamin E and calcium are more than twice that of rice. In protein, the content of flour is higher than rice.

If the proportion of essential amino acids, the digestibility and utilization rate of protein are considered comprehensively, the protein of rice is more easily absorbed and utilized by human body.

2. Eat rice or noodles to lose weight.

From the heat point of view, 100 grams of flour is 344 calories, and the same weight of rice is 346 calories, which is comparable. After they are made into staple food, there will be new changes: 100g steamed bread has 223 calories, and rice has 1 16 calories. Therefore, eating steamed bread and rice with the same weight, the former consumes more calories. But eating steamed bread can get more protein and dietary fiber, and it is relatively more resistant to hunger. It's hard to say who is less likely to get fat, noodles or rice.

In fact, whether steamed bread or rice, their satiety is relatively low, which is not conducive to weight loss, and the glycemic index is high, which is not conducive to blood sugar control. People with diabetes should limit their food intake. If you want to control your weight and blood sugar, you should always eat starchy beans such as red beans, kidney beans and mung beans. They have a particularly strong feeling of fullness, slow digestion and a gentle rise in blood sugar.

3. Eat rice to nourish the stomach or noodles to nourish the stomach.

Both polished rice and white flour are easy to digest. Many people think that drinking porridge and soaking in rice is a good way to nourish the stomach. However, this view is somewhat one-sided. Drinking porridge or soup and soaking in rice for a long time can't nourish the stomach.

Porridge and soup soaked in rice are often swallowed without chewing, and are not preliminarily digested by salivary amylase in saliva. Excessive water intake dilutes gastric juice, increases the capacity of the stomach, and increases the burden of the stomach to some extent. Drinking porridge for a long time can also easily lead to insufficient nutrition intake.

Friends with indigestion can use rice porridge, steamed bread, soft rice and soft noodles as staple food. When patients with gastric ulcer take rice and flour as their staple food, they should pay attention to chewing slowly. It is a better choice for people with hyperacidity to eat more flour products with alkali, which helps to neutralize gastric acid.

Therefore, patients with stomach problems can't drink porridge every meal, just once a day. You can also eat some pasta properly and chew it several times per bite, which also helps to nourish the stomach.
