It has always been thought that drinking porridge is healthy and can nourish the stomach. Generally, when you are sick and uncomfortable, you will boil some porridge and feel much faster.
But, you know what? In fact, drinking porridge is unhealthy!
First of all, drinking porridge can't nourish the stomach!
People feel very comfortable after drinking porridge. In fact, the main reason is that porridge is easy to digest after drinking. Glucose transformed in the body will prompt the brain to secrete dopamine, giving people a sense of pleasure and satisfaction. In fact, the stomach needs exercise. If we always let her "eat soft rice", her stomach function will not evolve well. In the long run, eating a little "dry food" will make her uncomfortable, and finally she can only drink porridge all the time!
Secondly, porridge has no nutrition!
I remember eating pumpkin porridge when I was a child, and I felt it was not sweet enough. I added two spoonfuls of sugar, dried two bowls at a time, and soon I was full!
Now it seems that it is just fooling the stomach!
Ordinary rice, 100g, contains 28g of carbohydrate, the main type of carbohydrate is starch, and good carbohydrate (dietary fiber) is very little, 0.4g is almost negligible, and the content of protein is also very small, and other minerals are even less.
So the main nutrition of porridge is starch, which will soon become sugar after digestion. Actually, in other words, a bowl of porridge is a bowl of sugar water.
Therefore, porridge is actually not healthy at all. Most people eat porridge without any nutrition, except that it causes blood sugar and insulin to soar, makes you gain weight and provides you with energy, and has no other benefits.
Finally, the glycemic index of porridge is higher than that of rice!
Most people know that rice is a food with a high glycemic index. People with diabetes must eat less. Porridge is more terrible than rice.
Do you know that?/You know what? Do you know that?/You know what?
The glycemic index of rice is 72, which belongs to the food with high glycemic index, while the glycemic index of porridge is actually 88, which is much higher than that of rice. This is because in the process of cooking porridge, the starch of porridge gelatinizes and becomes dextrin. Dextrin decomposes better between starch and disaccharide than starch, so it is easier to increase sugar under the same amount of rice and carbon.
Therefore, friends who pay attention to health and figure should pay attention! Porridge is not a good choice! If you don't want to do it yourself, you can learn about our peace of mind!
