White rice is a food that is consumed worldwide. Brown rice is considered healthier because of its vitamins and minerals. However, people seem to eat white rice without knowing how it can affect our bodies if consumed regularly.
Viral Strange has prepared a list of things that can happen to your body if you start eating it regularly.
White rice can cause constipation.
Many studies report that higher fibre intake means a lower risk of constipation. White rice is lower in fibre, and that leads to constipation.
Blood sugar levels might get higher.
According to a study, it can increase your blood sugar levels and lead to type 2 diabetes because of its high glycemic index. On the other hand, whole-grain rice may help in controlling blood sugar.
White rice can lead to belly fat.
Since it is a processed and refined food, people think they will lose weight. However, it might be challenging to do so because its lower fibre will make you go for more food. Prompt for brown rice. It is higher in fibre and will help you achieve your goals.
Higher cholesterol levels.
It doesn’t contain cholesterol, but eating high quantities of it can increase sugar levels. That will lead to an increase in triglycerides number and cholesterol levels.
White rice can increase the chances of heart disease.
Because it accumulates more arsenic than other foods, its high intake can present a higher risk of heart disease and cancer. Arsenic can also affect brain function because it is toxic to nerves.
Do you consume it often? Have you encountered such problems? Tell us more in the comments.
Nah, personally I feel like this is wrong, if youre from Asia, Nepal to be exact, we eat white rice twice every single day. That’s just how it has always been. And I also do eat white rice like thrice a day and I’ve never felt anything like this. Everything has a limit so even if you consume white rice regularly you shouldn’t go over the limit.
