Under the same weight, the quantity of calories of rice porridge is lower than that of rice and noodles made of polished rice and flour, and it belongs to food with low glycemic index, which is not only suitable for people who lose weight, but also suitable for diabetics.

Ballast porridge contains carbohydrates, which can provide energy for the body. It is also rich in protein, fat, vitamin B, vitamin E, and minerals such as potassium, iron and calcium, which can supplement various nutrients for the body. The dietary fiber rich in the porridge can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, soften stools, and is also beneficial to relieve and prevent constipation.

Despite the above benefits, we should also pay attention to the right amount when eating. Eating in large quantities may cause discomfort such as bloating, stomachache and indigestion. In addition, large-scale porridge is often used as a staple food. In order to ensure a balanced nutrition every day, fresh vegetables, meat, eggs and other foods should be properly matched when eating, and attention should be paid to maintaining a diversified diet.
