4 Cara Konsumsi Nasi Lebih Sehat, Praktikkan di Rumah Yuk!

Dream - White rice indeed becomes the staple food in many Asian countries, including Indonesia. We always rely on rice for breakfast, lunch, and dinner as a source of carbohydrates and to make our stomachs feel fuller.

White rice cooked as much as 100 grams contains about 130 calories and 28 grams of carbohydrates. The fiber content is also low because white rice is a processed version without bran. For those who have a history of high blood sugar, it is highly recommended to reduce consumption of white rice.

The reason is because the sugar content in white rice is very high, especially when it is freshly cooked and still warm. The protein content in rice is also not much, only about 2.7 grams per 100 grams.

For those who are trying to lose weight, the consumption of white rice should also be limited and reduced. This is because rice contains high calories and carbohydrates.

For Dream friends who want to maintain weight and blood sugar levels normal, but do not want to eliminate rice from their daily menu, it is recommended to use healthier cooking methods. This also includes consuming it more wisely. These five tricks may be followed.

1. Avoid Fried Rice

Steaming or boiling rice is the best choice in preparing it because it does not involve excessive use of vegetable oil. This method becomes the best way to cook rice by avoiding high oil addition. It is advisable not to consume fried rice, coconut rice, or rice dishes that are processed with oil.

2. Consumption with vegetables

Consuming cooked rice together with fiber-rich vegetables that have been boiled or sautéed will make the dish more delicious and healthy. So, always prepare vegetable dishes when you want to consume rice, Dream friends.

3. Add Cumin

Mix the cumin seeds into the rice. Cumin seeds are known to regulate blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Sahabat Dream can also add a little coconut oil to the water used to cook the rice. Recent research findings show that adding coconut oil to white rice during the cooking process can increase the amount of resistant starch in the rice and reduce the number of calories in the dish.

4. Add Clove Flower

Insert some cloves while cooking rice. Cloves not only play a role in regulating blood sugar, but also contain antioxidants that can fight inflammation. Report by Amanda Syavira/ Source: Food NDTV
