Drinking white rice porridge is not for everyone

The core message: rice porridge has always been regarded as the "most common people" food, not only for the popular favorite, but the most common "patient food" - many inpatients actively give up normal solid food (such as rice, etc.), change Eat porridge, thinking that this can supplement nutrition and speed up recovery. However, white porridge is really so nutritious? Is it really suitable?

First, the nutritional loss during the porridge process

The finely processed white rice, with its low nutritional value, mainly provides a large amount of starch (75%), a small amount of protein (8%), and some B vitamins.

The process of heating and boiling into porridge for a long time has little effect on starch, protein, and minerals, but it does damage B vitamins. The longer the cooking time, the more B vitamins are destroyed.

Therefore, the more delicate and delicious the porridge is, the lower the B vitamin content is. If you add alkali during the porridge, B vitamins will be destroyed.

Therefore, white rice porridge has lower nutritional value than white rice or white steamed bread.

Second, who should drink white rice porridge?

Compared with white rice, white rice porridge has the advantage of easy digestion.

Rice porridge is heated for longer cooking time and has more water content, so the starch is more fully gelatinized and is more easily broken down into glucose by the amylase in the small intestine and absorbed into the blood. Cooking over a long period of time also dissolves a few proteins or amino acids and becomes more digestible.

Therefore, compared with white rice and other solid foods, rice porridge can reduce the burden of gastrointestinal digestion, especially for patients with poor digestive gastrointestinal diseases, such as gastroenteritis, severe peptic ulcer, pancreatitis, severe hepatitis, etc. Some extremely weak patients. For the first time after surgery, liquid food is needed, and easily digestible white rice porridge (even rice soup) can be the first choice.

Third, who should not drink rice porridge?

It must be pointed out that the easy-to-digest nature of white rice porridge is only beneficial to some of the patients mentioned above. However, for healthy people or patients with normal digestive function in the gastrointestinal tract, white rice porridge has no advantage and it is better to eat white rice (or other More nutritious food).

It is wrong to think that all patients eat porridge better generally and generally to eat porridge. As far as I know, in hospitals abroad, you cannot see the scene where patients have porridge (or other foods that are considered easily digestible).


The easy digestion and absorption of white rice porridge is actually a “double-edged sword”, which means it will also show a detrimental effect. White rice porridge is easy to digest and absorb, and the effect of increasing blood sugar after eating is more intense. This is not only unfavorable for the control of blood sugar in diabetic patients, but also has an adverse effect on postprandial blood glucose in healthy people.

All in all, don't be fooled by the most supportive argument for white rice porridge. In the case of poor gastrointestinal function, or for the first time after major surgery, white porridge may be the preferred food. In addition, rice porridge has no additional benefits for patients and healthy people, and it is even less than white rice.
