But this seemingly ordinary eating habit, in the view of modern nutrition, actually has a lot to improve. Of course, next, we don't want to kill rice porridge with a stick. We just want to tell you the disadvantages of only drinking rice porridge and how to drink porridge healthier.

Breakfast is only rice porridge, which is not very nutritious.
Like white-flour steamed bread and rice, rice porridge can only be regarded as an ordinary staple food in a meal. In terms of nutrients, it is rich in water and carbohydrates, and other nutrients are less.
Many people will use porridge with fried dough sticks, steamed buns, fried cakes, and even hand-picked cakes with egg dishes, spicy meat and miscellaneous grains pancakes, because it is rich in water ... it is a must for a versatile breakfast.
But these breakfasts are still 1+ 1 in essence, and there is still a big gap between protein and vegetables.
Of course, many people may retort: I don't drink rice porridge, but I drink Cantonese seafood porridge, Laba porridge, Nanjing Meiling porridge, Shandong sweet foam porridge, Hequ sour porridge, Northeast ballast porridge, tea porridge ... Are these not nutritious enough?
Yes, not enough.
Almost all of these fancy porridge are made of rice, millet and glutinous rice in rotation, and various beans, lotus seeds, medlar and tremella are added as decorations.
To put it bluntly, the proportion of nutrients and carbohydrates in fancy porridge is still large, and a few leaves or pieces of seafood meat are far from enough.
And special reminder, seafood porridge is a combination of high purine (seafood) and high sugar (porridge). Young people with gout should stay away as soon as possible.
Ask yourself, have you worked out a recipe and cooked fancy rice porridge for two hours before going out every day? If there is an aunt at home who specializes in studying recipes and cooking every day and holds a registered dietitian certificate, forget it.
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.
