Hello, porridge and soup with rice are two different concepts, with different chemical composition and digestion process.

First, understand the digestion process of rice. Salivary amylase starts from the mouth, digests starch in rice and breaks it down into maltose.

Aft that plant protein in rice reaches the stomach through the esophagus, it will be digest into polypeptide by pepsin, and then it will enter the duodenum through the pylorus of the stomach, where the digestive juice secreted by digestive organs such as pancreas and liver will enter the small intestine, where peptidase will digest the polypeptide and decompose it into amino acids, while maltose will be digested and decomposed into glucose by maltase, and most of the amino acids and glucose will be directly absorbed by the small intestine, the rest will be absorbed by the large intestine, and most of the vitamins, water and inorganic salts in rice will also be absorbed by the small intestine, and finally the rest will be absorbed by the human body such as cellulose.

When drinking soup and soaking rice, undigested rice is easily washed directly into the intestine due to the momentum of water, so undigested protein becomes redundant substance, which increases the burden on the intestine, so it is not conducive to digestion.

Because the rice in the porridge has been boiled for a long time, most of the nutrients in the porridge have been decomposed into some nutrients we need in advance, so the burden on the digestive tract is reduced and there is enough time to improve the absorption rate, so it is beneficial to drink porridge in the morning.

Here are some information about drinking porridge. I hope the landlord is healthy. Thank you.
