Third, how to drink porridge is healthy 1, three meals can not always drink porridge This mistake is often made by the elderly. Properly drink porridge is indeed beneficial, but not all the time to drink. Porridge is a liquid food, in nutrition and the same volume of rice than to poor. And porridge “not top full”, eat when you feel full, but soon hungry again. In the long run, the elderly will be malnourished due to insufficient energy and nutrient intake. Therefore, it is important to drink porridge with balanced nutrition. Cook the porridge thicker, with a meat dish, or eat some snacks between meals, can be supplemented with energy. 2, ice porridge is not advisable Ice porridge is a hot summer food, but it is not suitable for the elderly and children with a cold and weak constitution. Drinking more ice porridge will not only make the body’s sweat pores closed, resulting in metabolic waste is not easy to excrete, and may affect the gastrointestinal function. Fourth, not suitable for people who drink porridge 1, diabetics are not suitable for drinking porridge. Porridge contains more water, easier to digest and absorb than rice and steamed buns, and the longer the porridge is boiled, the stickier it is, the better it is, the faster it raises postprandial blood sugar. This is because the longer the food processing time and the higher the temperature, the higher the glycemic index. When the porridge is boiled for a long time, the starch in the rice is partially broken down into short-chain carbohydrates such as dextrin. Dextrin is easier to digest and absorb than starch, and is quickly broken down into glucose, which is absorbed by the body and directly raises blood glucose concentration, i.e., raises postprandial blood glucose. Studies have found that rice porridge glycemic index is 69.4, milk glycemic index is 27.6, much lower than porridge. So it is better to eat milk, soy milk or yogurt for breakfast. When diabetic patients have fever, gastrointestinal discomfort or other conditions such as infection or surgery and cannot eat ordinary rice, they can also drink some congee, noodle soup, egg custard or rotten noodles. However, the congee should not be boiled for too long or too sticky. If necessary, the dosage of glucose-lowering drugs and insulin can be increased appropriately, which will be more stable. However, it is not completely against the patients to drink porridge. It should be reminded that patients who have been accustomed to drinking porridge for a long time or who need to eat liquid food such as porridge due to poor chewing function should do the following in order to control blood sugar: (1) It is not advisable to eat too much porridge that is cooked too badly; (2) It is better to match with milk, green vegetables and soy milk, which are helpful to stabilize blood sugar; (3) Rice can be cooked together with cereals, or with millet, black rice, corn, pumpkin The latter is due to coarse grains, more fiber, long digestion and absorption time, these are better than white rice porridge. 2, people with bad stomachs drink less Many people believe that porridge nourishes the stomach. But in fact, this view is not comprehensive. Because drinking porridge without chewing slowly, can not promote the secretion of oral salivary glands that can help digestion; and high water content of porridge in the stomach, will play a role in diluting gastric acid, accelerating the expansion of the stomach, so that the stomach movement is slow, which is also not conducive to digestion. Therefore, patients with stomach problems should not always drink porridge, but should choose other easily digested and absorbed diet, chew slowly to promote digestion. Five, what is the selection of water for cooking porridge? What is the difference between milk and soy milk porridge? Can the water used to boil medicine be used to cook porridge? 1, from the point of view of nutrition, or boiling water to cook porridge is good. If you use this water directly to cook rice, the chlorine in the water will inevitably destroy a large amount of vitamin B1 in the rice. boiled water to cook porridge, chlorine has more evaporated with water vapor, greatly reducing the loss of vitamin B1 and other nutrients. The rice for porridge contains a lot of starch, and starch granules do not dissolve in cold water, the water temperature is above 60 ℃, the starch will absorb water expansion, rupture, into a paste, the original very large starch molecules can become small molecules of monosaccharides digested and absorbed by the body. Boiling water directly with porridge can make the starch more quickly cracked. Repeatedly boiled water does contain toxic nitrite, but mostly in the following types of water, such as in hot water bottles have been several days, not fresh warm boiling water; boiling water residue in the boiling water pot; overnight reboiled boiling water; steamed rice, steamed meat after the steamer water, etc.. When cooking porridge because of the addition of rice, millet and other raw materials, and the boiling time is not very long, so the concentration of nitrite is not high, do not have to worry too much. 2, soy milk porridge nutritional value: japonica rice: japonica rice can improve the body’s immune function, promote blood circulation, thus reducing the chance of hypertension; japonica rice can prevent diabetes, foot disease, age spots and constipation and other diseases; japonica rice bran layer of crude fiber molecules, help gastrointestinal peristalsis, the stomach disease, constipation, hemorrhoids and other curative effect is very good. Soybean milk: soybean milk is rich in nutrients, drink more soybean milk can prevent Alzheimer’s disease, enhance disease resistance, cancer prevention and anti-cancer; middle-aged and elderly women drink, can regulate endocrine, improve menopause syndrome; young women drink, can make the skin white and moist, glowing. 3, milk porridge nutritional value: can supplement the deficiency, strengthen the spleen and stomach, moisten the five organs. It is suitable for weakness and strain, deficiency of qi and blood, deficiency win after illness, old age and weakness, malnutrition and other diseases. Milk porridge produced by dairy processing plants has a variety of formulas, forming different flavors such as sweet and salty. Its sterilization time is short, with less nutritional loss. Six, the nutritional composition of pork ribs and crab stick porridge pork ribs and crab stick porridge main ingredients: 2 cups of rice, glutinous rice 1 cup ingredients: pork ribs 3 pieces, crab stick 5, green beans 30g, ginger 3 slices. Health benefits: rice: rich in carbohydrates, rich in manganese glutinous rice: tonifies the middle, strengthens the spleen, stops diarrhea, detoxifies Pork ribs: tonifies the kidneys, benefits qi, moistens dryness. The most controversial is the crab stick: a good crab stick becomes a good source of food nutrition because the fish meat has an elastic structure and contains a lot of muscle fiber protein. Not only does it taste delicious, but also has high nutritional value. Its protein is of high quality and has a high absorption rate by the body. The fish is rich in thiamine, riboflavin, nucleic acid, vitamin D and a certain amount of calcium, phosphorus, iron and other minerals. Although the fat content of fish is low, the fatty acids in it have been proven to have hypoglycemic, cardioprotective and anti-cancer effects. The vitamin D, calcium and phosphorus in fish can effectively prevent osteoporosis. However, the market is full of fish, crab meat sticks are mostly imitation food, most of the crab meat stick ingredients are basically: minced fish (paste fish), water, soy protein, starch, food additives. Individual ingredients include chicken and pork, and crab is not even on the ingredient list. These are bionic foods, bionic foods have limited nutritional value. Bionic food is a new type of food, that is, a new type of food made from artificial ingredients that resembles the taste of natural food. It imitates natural marine food in appearance and taste. Processed into food inexpensive, appearance, taste is very similar. However, the nutritional value of bionic food is not comparable to that of native marine food and can be said to be very poor. How can I tell the difference between good and bad crab sticks? The amount of starch added is generally controlled at about 5%-20% of the total amount, and the amount of fat added is generally limited to less than 50% of the amount of minced fish.
