Whether we eat rice or porridge, we only need to take nutrition from food. Because the materials are whole grains, rice and porridge contain energy, protein, carbohydrates and B vitamins needed by human body, so both of them are beneficial to health.

Check the food nutrition composition table and get the following data:

100g rice provides energy 317kcal, protein 2.6g, carbohydrate 26g, nicotinic acid 2mg, potassium 39mg, iron 2mg, zinc1.36mg. ..

100g white rice porridge provides energy of 46 kcal, protein 1. 1 g, carbohydrate 9.8, nicotinic acid 0.2mg, potassium13mg, iron 0. 1 mg and zinc 0.2mg. ..

So are other nutrients.

It seems that100g rice is more nutritious than100g porridge. But let's analyze it. The same amount of rice provides more energy than the same amount of porridge. Its advantage is that the body can get enough energy. Chairman Mao once said, "Man is iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry." This is the truth. In life, we find that people with strong physical activity prefer to eat more. But from another perspective, obese people should limit their energy intake in the process of losing weight, so porridge seems to be the best choice for dieters, because porridge is easy to fill their stomachs. So both have their own advantages.

Because the cooking methods of rice and porridge are different, porridge is easier to digest than rice, especially for children, the elderly and people with stomach problems. But for diabetic patients, we must pay attention to eating porridge, otherwise it will lead to excessive blood sugar fluctuation.

There are all kinds of medicinal porridge in the recipes of TCM health preservation, which can play a role in strengthening the body if eaten regularly. So I suggest that you can choose both rice and porridge in your life. Like myself, it's porridge in the morning. Both lunch and dinner are rice. According to your own habits, there is no fixed pattern.
