FAQs on rice – The fitness project 2018
1. How to cook rice?
Cook it the way in which it tastes the best, which is invariably how your grandmother used to.
2. Brown or white rice?
Hand pounded or single polished white rice. Too much fiber in brown rice comes in the way of absorption of minerals like Zinc, crucial for insulin function.
3. Which rice to eat?
There are thousands of varieties of rice in India, each one having its own distinct aroma and flavour. These aromatic compounds provide many nutritional benefits and work like antioxidants in the body, helping defy the effects of ageing. So eat the variety which grows in (or closest to) the region you live.
4. Rice and roti together?
Yes, you can if you have the appetite.
5. What if we have late dinner? Can we still have rice?
Yes, it’s the easiest meal to digest. You can have it as khichdi or dal-rice.
6. Can diabetics have rice?
Rice is traditionally eaten with dal/sabzi/meat/dahi, etc., along with ghee, and this lowers the glycaemic index of meals and is therefore totally safe for diabetics.
7. I feel hungry later if I have only dal rice?
Make sure you add ghee to your dal rice and eat slowly and with full attention. Have a glass of milk before sleeping if still hungry.
8. How much QUANTITY?
If you have been having a wholesome meal between 4-6pm and are exercising and are keeping the gadget away during meal times, you will be eating just right. Nothing more, nothing less. More about quantity coming soon in the Fitness project guidelines.
