Various other advantages include its capability to improve skin health, boost metabolism, help with digestion, decrease high blood pressure levels, assist with weight reduction efforts, enhance the body’s defense mechanisms and offer protection from many diet-related preventable diseases. In spite of these benefits, many people believe that rice can cause overweight. This is what Dr. Dana Al Hamwi, Clinical Dietician at India Gate says about rice:
NOT ALL TYPES OF WHITE RICE HAVE THE SAME CALORIE CONTENT
When it comes to weight loss and rice consumption, two things matter - the type of rice you eat and the portion size. Basmati rice, in its whole grain form is lower in calories compared to regular long-grain rice, and therefore can fit into a healthy eating plan. It is therefore important to consider factors such as calories, glycemic index (GI) and the age of the rice before choosing which rice to consume.
OLDER RICE IS MORE FILLING
