TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Many people consume less white rice while undergoing a weight loss diet program. They change white rice into other low-calory carbs such as brown rice.
Many nutritionists believe that consuming white rice may give a variety of negative effects on body health. As reported by various sources, less consumption of white rice can provide four health benefits:
- Reducing the risk of allergies
Some people are allergic to white rice. Therefore, reducing white rice consumption will automatically reduce the risk of allergies that usually appear with symptoms including itching, sneezing, and shortness of breath.
- Reducing the risk of obesity
White rice is commonly tied to obesity. Despite it may be a source of energy, eating white rice without exercise may gain weight.
- Reduce constipation
White rice consumption may lead to constipation because it contains less fiber. Carbohydrates contained in white rice can cause digestive disorders if consumed regularly.
- Keep blood sugar levels in check
Reducing the consumption of white rice will help to keep your blood sugar levels in the track because the high glycemic index in white rice can increase your sugar levels. Thus, it is better to consume less white rice, especially for those with type 2 diabetes.
