Why eat Less Rice ??.....Interesting



Eat Less Rice!

The human body was never meant to consume rice! You see, our genes have
hardly changed in more than 30,000 years. However, our food choices and
lifestyle have changed dramatically. The caveman would hardly recognize our
food or way of life.

Caveman food was never cooked as fire was not yet tamed. Thus, he ate only
those foods that you can eat without treatment with or by fire. He ate
fruits, vegetables, fish (sushi anyone?), eggs, nuts and meat. Yes, even
meat! You can even eat meat raw if you were starving in the forest. You have
the necessary enzymes to digest meat.

However, rice, like wheat and corn, cannot be eaten raw. It must be cooked.
Even if you were starving in the desert, you cannot eat rice in the raw
form.. This is because we do not have the system of enzymes to break rice
down. You were never meant to eat rice. To make matters worse, you not only
eat rice, but also make it the bulk of your food.

In some parts of Asia, rice forms up to 85% of the plate. Even if you take
rice, keep it to a minimum. Remember, it is only for your tongue - not your
body. Actually, rice and other grains like wheat and corn are actually worse
than sugar. There are many reasons:

Rice becomes sugar - lots of it!
This is a fact that no nutritionist can deny: rice is chemically no
different from sugar. One bowl of cooked rice is the caloric equal of 10
teaspoons of sugar. This does not matter whether it is white, brown or
herbal rice. Brown rice is richer in fibre, some B vitamins and minerals but
it is still the caloric equal of 10 teaspoons of sugar. To get the same 10
teaspoons of sugar, you need to consume lots of kangkong-10 bowls of it.

Rice is digested to become sugar.
Rice cannot be digested before it is thoroughly cooked. However, when
thoroughly cooked, it becomes sugar and spikes circulating blood sugar
within half an hour-almost as quickly as it would if you took a sugar candy.
Rice is very low in the 'rainbow of anti-oxidants. '

This complete anti-oxidant rainbow is necessary for the effective and safe
utilization of sugar. Fruits come with a sugar called fructose. However,
they are not empty calories as the fruit is packed with a whole host of
other nutrients that help its proper assimilation and digestion.

Rice has no fibre.
The fibre of the kangkong fills you up long before your blood sugar spikes.
This is because the fibre bulks and fills up your stomach. Since white rice
has no fibre, you end up eating lots of 'calorie dense' food before you get
filled up. Brown rice has more fibre but still the same amount of sugar.

Rice is tasteless-sugar is sweet.
There is only so much that you can eat at one sitting. How many teaspoons of
sugar can you eat before you feel like throwing up? Could you imagine eating
10 teaspoons of sugar in one seating?

Rice is always the main part of the meal.
While sugar may fill your dessert or sweeten your coffee, it will never be
the main part of any meal. You could eat maybe two to three teaspoons of
sugar at one meal. However, you could easily eat the equal value of two to
three bowls (20-30 teaspoons) of sugar in one meal. I am always amused when
I see someone eat sometimes five bowls of rice (equals 50 teaspoons of
sugar) and then asks for tea tarik kurang manis!

There is no real 'built in' mechanism for us to prevent overeating of rice:
How much kangkong can you eat?
How much fried chicken can you eat?
How much steamed fish can you eat?
Think about that!

In one seating, you cannot take lots of chicken, fish or cucumber, but you
can take lots of rice. Eating rice causes you to eat more salt. As rice is
tasteless, you tend to consume more salt-another villain when it comes to
high blood pressure. You tend to take more curry that has salt to help
flavor rice. We also tend to consume more ketchup and soy sauce which are
also rich in salt.

Eating rice causes you to drink less water.
The more rice you eat, the less water you will drink as there is no
mechanism to prevent the overeating of rice. Rice, wheat and corn come
hidden in our daily food. As rice is tasteless, it tends to end up in other
foods that substitute rice like rice flour, noodles and bread. We tend to
eat the hidden forms which still get digested into sugar.

Rice, even when cooked, is difficult to digest.
Can't eat raw rice? Try eating rice half cooked. Contrary to popular belief,
rice is very difficult to digest. It is 'heavy stuff'. If you have problems
with digestion, try skipping rice for a few days. You will be amazed at how
the problem will just go away.

Rice prevents the absorption of several vitamins and minerals.
Rice when taken in bulk will reduce the absorption of vital nutrients like
zinc, iron and the B vitamins.

Are you a rice addict? Going rice-less may not be easy but you can go
rice-less. Eating less rice could be lot easier than you think. Here are
some strategies that you can pursue in your quest to eat less rice:

                                                             Eat less
rice-cut your rice by half.

45&attid=0.3&disp=emb&zw> Barry Sears, author of the Zone Diet, advises
'eating rice like spice'. Instead, increase your fruits and vegetables. Take
more lean meats and fish. You can even take more eggs and nuts.

Have 'riceless' meals.
Take no rice or wheat at say, breakfast. Go for eggs instead.

Go on 'riceless' days.
Go 'western' once a week.

Take no rice and breads for one day every week.
That can't be too difficult. Appreciate the richness of your food. Go for
taste, colours and smells. Make eating a culinary delight. Enjoy your food
in the original flavours.

Avoid the salt shaker or ketchup.
You will automatically eat less rice.

Eat your fruit dessert before (Yes! No printing error) your meals.
The fibre rich fruits will 'bulk up' in your stomach. Thus, you will eat
less rice and more fruits.

It's your life. Decide what you want to eat! But eat less rice
