Cooking porridge with alkali tastes more fragrant, but it will reduce the content of protein. Is it true?
Sometimes when we drink the porridge cooked by the old people, we feel particularly fragrant and thick. This is because there is alkali in the porridge, but some people say that the porridge with alkali will reduce the nutrition of rice porridge.
Is there any reduction? The National Food Quality Supervision and Inspection Center has done relevant experiments.
The results showed that the content of protein in rice porridge increased from 0.55g to 0.82g after adding alkali, but it increased. In this regard, nutrition experts explained that alkali will not affect the nutrition of rice, and the increase is caused by the decrease of water after gelatinization.
Since the nutrition of rice porridge has increased, why not recommend eating rice porridge for breakfast?
From the point of view of the stomach, after a night's rest, the stomach is very active at this time, and it can't wait to absorb nutrients and provide sufficient energy for the whole body. If the energy of food eaten into the body is insufficient, it is useless for the stomach to try hard, and other organs can use less energy.
There is too little nutrition in rice.
Although protein has increased as mentioned above, the total amount is still pitiful, and there are few other nutrients, most of which are carbohydrate and water. You may feel hungry after drinking it for less than an hour, and you can't maintain a morning's work and study.
Take rice porridge and eggs as a comparison. The calories of rice porridge and eggs are about 1 10 and 70 calories. It seems that rice porridge has higher calories, but in fact, they bring similar satiety, and rice porridge is not hungry, so it can be consumed without any effort. Therefore, eating porridge in the morning was really full, in fact, full, and the ability to carry hunger was not as good as eating two eggs.
Pasty rice porridge will affect blood sugar.
Most people who like porridge are middle-aged and elderly people, and many people in this group suffer from chronic diseases, such as diabetes. The GI index of rice porridge is 102, which is higher than glucose, so it is not recommended to drink rice porridge often for breakfast, because it is too nutritious for blood sugar.
To sum up, there are three types of people who don't recommend eating rice porridge for breakfast.
First, people who need to spend a long time physically and mentally, such as office workers, students, farmers, etc.
Second, people with unstable blood sugar and a tendency to get sick or have been diagnosed with diabetes.
Third, people with severe gastric ulcers and frequent acid reflux.
Some people may ask, I have a bad stomach. Don't I eat some rice porridge to nourish my stomach?
Yes, rice porridge is mushy and easy to digest. Generally, people who have a bad stomach or are sick and have no appetite will drink some porridge to reduce the burden on the stomach. You can drink it occasionally, but it is not recommended to drink it for a long time, because there are two things to pay attention to, and drinking porridge depends on the situation.
First of all, is the patient's condition suitable for eating porridge? Some people have bad teeth, or just had gallbladder and gastrointestinal surgery. At this time, you can drink some light porridge, which can ensure the operation of the body and will not cause too much burden. However, if the patient has passed the stage of eating liquid food and needs enough nutrition at present, don't drink porridge at this time.
Secondly, if the stomach is not good, you need to nourish your stomach, but nourish your stomach and drink rice porridge. Some people have more stomach acid and gastric ulcer. At this time, drinking porridge may aggravate stomach discomfort. And some people have insufficient stomach power and are prone to bloating. At this time, the burden of eating rice porridge in the stomach will be smaller.
Reminder: There is a kind of porridge that should not be eaten more.
Some people don't want to cook and eat in the morning, but they want to drink porridge, so they will go to the shop outside to buy finished porridge, that is, porridge in plastic cups with straws inserted. Even some parents buy this kind of porridge for their children every day, feeling that there are many varieties and it is convenient to eat.
After the porridge is cooked, the temperature is relatively high. Putting it into a plastic cup may scald the cup and produce a small amount of harmful substances. In order to save costs, some merchants use plastic cups that are not food grade, and eating the food in this cup for a long time may bring health hazards to the body. If the cup is deformed when eating, and there is a plastic smell in the rice porridge, try not to eat it.
Must I not eat porridge for breakfast? In fact, rice porridge can also be very nutritious.
The biggest reason why people dislike rice porridge is that it has too little nutrition, so it is a good choice if it can enhance its nutritional value. Try miscellaneous grains porridge, lean meat porridge, seafood porridge and sweet potato porridge, and then add eggs, vegetables and fruits to the porridge. This breakfast will be more nutritious and blood sugar will be more stable.
In addition to rice porridge, its good partners do not recommend eating more, such as pickles, leftovers, fried dough sticks, etc. It is best to eat something fresh and light, which will be more popular with the stomach. In short, drinking rice porridge properly has the function of warming and nourishing the stomach, but it is not suitable to eat it every day. If the elderly at home don't know yet, tell them in time.
