What benefits does drinking porridge have to the body?

After a night of peristalsis, people's stomachs are basically empty of food. Get up in the morning and your stomach is empty. At this time, if you eat some cold and hard food, it will undoubtedly stimulate the stomach and increase the burden on the stomach. Drinking porridge will stimulate appetite, strengthen the spleen and be economical.

After a night of peristalsis, people's stomachs are basically empty of food. Get up in the morning and your stomach is empty. At this time, if you eat some cold and hard food, it will undoubtedly stimulate the stomach and increase the burden on the stomach. Drinking porridge will stimulate appetite, strengthen the spleen and be economical. There are many benefits, but it should be noted that diabetics should not eat more! !

Professor Lao Gancheng, Chairman of Guangzhou Branch of Endocrinology Society of Chinese Medical Association, said:

It was found that the blood sugar of diabetic patients after eating porridge was significantly higher than that after eating the same amount of dry rice. Therefore, it is beneficial to control blood sugar for diabetic patients to eat dry rice for breakfast.

In the process of treating diabetes, it is found that even if patients eat according to a nutritious meal, their blood sugar can not be well controlled. Especially, the blood sugar of patients who eat porridge or soup for breakfast fluctuates greatly, so there is a research result about the influence of two cooking methods of rice on postprandial blood sugar of diabetic patients.

In the study, we observed the changes of blood sugar of 3 1 patient with type 2 diabetes after eating the same amount of dry rice and porridge for 30, 60, 120 and 180 minutes respectively, and compared them with glucose with the same energy. Results The blood glucose at 30, 60 and 120 minutes after eating dry rice was significantly lower than that at porridge and the corresponding time after eating, especially after 60 minutes, which was 4.29mmol/L lower than that of patients eating porridge. However, after eating dry rice for breakfast, the blood glucose was stable and basically reached a better control level.

Blood sugar will rise after eating. Why do the same amount of dry rice and porridge have different effects on blood sugar? Starch in rice is insoluble in water, and heating can promote its solubility in water. The longer the heating time, the wider the contact with digestive juice after eating and the easier it is to be absorbed. In addition, porridge is in a semi-liquid state, and the emptying time of the stomach is relatively short after eating, which may be the reason why porridge has a greater impact on blood sugar than dry rice.

The blood sugar of diabetic patients after breakfast and before lunch is difficult to control in a day, which is not only related to the secretion of insulin hormone in the morning and the production of a large amount of glucose in the liver, but also related to the quality, quantity and cooking methods of patients' breakfast. If we can insist on eating breakfast based on dry rice, it will help to control blood sugar at this time and blood sugar throughout the day. If you are not used to dry rice for breakfast, you can choose "Ten Millet Porridge" to cook porridge, that is, brown rice, black glutinous rice, millet, buckwheat, Euryale euryales, oats, lotus seeds, cereal and red barley. If you want to taste better, you can add longan and raisins. Cooking porridge with this coarse grain can make you feel full and absorb it in your stomach for a long time to keep your blood sugar stable.

Ye Zhenyu, a member of Guangdong Medicinal Diet Committee, said:

Porridge is easy to digest, has the effects of warming stomach, appetizing and clearing intestines, and can also replenish water quickly. Cantonese people like to eat porridge. There are many kinds of porridge. The famous ones are Jidi porridge, boat porridge and naked rice porridge. Zhang Zhongjing believes that after suffering from typhoid fever, eating porridge after taking decoction can supplement body fluid, which is conducive to sweating, and drunkenness and vomiting are easy to hurt the spleen and stomach. Eating porridge has the function of strengthening the spleen.

Rice can nourish healthy qi, and add some herbs to cook porridge together, which has the effect of health preservation. For example, Beiqi tonifies qi, benefits essence and spleen, and ginger warms the stomach. Moreover, diabetic patients can eat yam porridge, yam has the function of lowering blood sugar, and boiled porridge such as Schisandra chinensis, pork, lean meat and yam also has the function of lowering blood sugar. The key for diabetics to eat porridge is to control the total amount. For example, pumpkin can lower blood sugar, but eating a lot of pumpkin porridge will raise blood sugar.

Chen Chaogang, the attending doctor of the Nutrition Department of Zhongshan Second Hospital, said:

Diabetic patients eat porridge for breakfast. There are many kinds of porridge, some are poorly cooked, and some are all rice, such as Chaozhou porridge. That kind of poorly cooked porridge will definitely lead to an increase in blood sugar, but it's not all the fault of porridge.

First, porridge is usually eaten in the morning or in the morning, but from 2 am to 12 noon, blood sugar is generally high due to the secretion of body hormones. At noon and afternoon, human blood sugar is relatively stable at lunch and dinner, which is related to hormone secretion.

Second, people who drink porridge in the morning are used to matching starchy foods such as bread and fried dough sticks. Porridge is originally a carbohydrate, and bread fritters are starchy foods. Results carbohydrate exceeded the standard, and blood sugar naturally soared. Eating rice is different. When eating rice, you often eat vegetables, meat and fish. The latter helps to stabilize postprandial blood sugar.

Third, sometimes dry rice is easier to digest than porridge, and you need to chew it with your teeth when you eat it. When food starts in your mouth, you have the first step of digestion and absorption.

Research data also show that the glycemic index of rice porridge is not higher than that of rice. China Food Composition Table 2002 records that the glycemic index of rice is 83.2, while that of rice porridge is 69.

Although diabetics can eat porridge, it is not encouraged. Because of porridge for breakfast, it is difficult to drink nutritious foods such as milk and soybean milk that help stabilize blood sugar. If you have the habit of drinking porridge for a long time, you should do the following things, which may help to control blood sugar.

1, should not eat too much, porridge is too bad;

2, it is best to match milk, vegetables, soy milk and so on. These foods help to stabilize blood sugar;

3. Rice can be cooked with cereal, or porridge with millet, black rice and corn. The latter is better than white rice porridge, because it is coarse grains, rich in fiber and takes a long time to digest and absorb.
