Rice is a basic food for supplementing nutrients, in addition to being rich in carbohydrates, it also contains protein, fat, vitamins and 11 kinds of minerals, which can provide comprehensive nutrition for the human body. Although the individual content of various nutrients is not very high, it is known as the "first of the five grains" because of its large consumption and high nutritional efficacy in general. But there are also some things to keep in mind when eating rice:

Rice turns yellow and eaten or induces cancer

In both cases, the rice will turn yellow. One is that due to the high moisture content of rice itself, it is easy to be contaminated by molds such as Penicillium island, Penicillium citrus, Penicillium aeruginogenus, etc. during storage, and after that, the mold multiplies in large quantities under suitable conditions and produces toxic metabolites, causing the rice to turn yellow, which is also known as yellow rice. Yellow-turned rice contains a variety of toxins, which can cause liver lesions, and some can also cause kidney and nerve damage, which has a strong carcinogenic effect. In addition, the rice is not dried in time due to rain after harvesting, and the wet grain is piled up and stored together, which will also cause the rice to turn yellow. The rice milled from this yellowed rice is also yellow in color and is called yellow-grained rice. Yellow-grained rice is generally not toxic, but its nutritional value and quality are worse than that of white rice, and it is also susceptible to mold contamination under suitable conditions.

It is best to buy rice in small quantities and store it in a dry and ventilated place. In the north, rice can generally be stored for 3~0 months, and in the south, it is best not to store it for more than 0 months.

Follow the rule of 3 to eat rice healthily

Messy and coarse

The larger the grain particles, the slower it is digested and the lower the glycemic levels. Brown rice, barley, oats, corn residues, etc. have a relatively "coarse" taste, so you may wish to use them instead of part of the rice when steaming rice or boiling porridge, and put 5/0 or 0/0 according to personal taste, which can effectively control the rate of blood sugar rise. In addition, when steaming rice or boiling porridge, it can also be paired with beans and nuts, such as red beans, mung beans, kidney beans, soybeans, peanuts, etc., which will slow down the absorption of sugar in the body and make blood sugar rise not so quickly. However, sweet potatoes and potatoes will increase the rate of blood sugar rise, and if you add them, you should reduce your rice intake accordingly. It should be reminded that it is not easy to cook grains and rice together, so according to the type of grains, soak them in cold water for 0~0 hours in advance.

Try to be "colorful"

In order to increase the lack of vitamins and other nutrients in rice, steaming rice or cooking porridge can also be paired with various colors of vegetables, such as orange carrots, green vegetables, etc., which can not only avoid the rapid rise of blood sugar, but also be more nutritious.

Eat slowly

When eating, it is best to take a bite of rice and a bite of vegetables, and then drink a mouthful of soup, prolong the meal time, slow down the pace of eating, and avoid ingesting a large amount of starch in a short period of time, which can also prevent blood sugar from rising too quickly and make the stomach more comfortable.
