Southerners like to drink a little white rice porridge for breakfast, which makes them feel nutritious, healthy and warm. Is rice porridge really as nutritious as people say? I think there are still many people who still don't really understand. The following small series will introduce this issue.

First, there is a great loss of nutrition in the process of cooking porridge.

The nutritional value of refined white rice itself is not high, which mainly provides a large amount of starch (75%), a small amount of protein (8%) and some B vitamins.

The process of cooking porridge for a long time has little effect on starch, protein and minerals, but it does harm to B vitamins. The longer the cooking time, the more B vitamins are destroyed.

Therefore, the more delicate and delicious the boiled white rice porridge is, the lower the content of B vitamins is. If you add alkali in the process of cooking porridge, it will destroy the B vitamins.

Therefore, compared with white rice or steamed bread, the nutritional value of white rice porridge is lower.

Second, who should not drink white rice porridge?

It must be pointed out that white rice porridge is easy to digest, which is especially beneficial to some of the above patients. For healthy people or patients with normal gastrointestinal digestive function, white rice porridge has no advantage, and it is better to eat white rice (or other foods with better nutrition).

It is wrong to give patients porridge in general and think that it is better for all patients to eat porridge. According to experts, in foreign hospitals, you can't see patients drinking porridge (or other foods that are considered easy to digest).

White rice porridge is easy to digest and absorb, but it is actually a "double-edged sword", which will also show harmful side. White rice porridge is easy to digest and absorb, and the effect of raising blood sugar after eating is stronger. This is not only bad for blood sugar control of diabetic patients, but also bad for postprandial blood sugar of healthy people.

In short, don't be superstitious about the saying that white rice porridge is the most nourishing. When the gastrointestinal function is poor, or when eating for the first time after major surgery, rice porridge may be the first choice. In addition, white rice porridge has no additional benefits for patients and healthy people, even worse than eating white rice.

Many people have no appetite to eat, including children. Porridge is light and appetizing, which has become the choice of many people. So besides white rice porridge, what delicious porridge is there? Cooking porridge is also learned. Come and have a look!
