Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and drinking porridge is a traditional breakfast habit for many people. However, some people have recently proposed that "white porridge has been blacklisted for breakfast", which has attracted widespread attention and discussion. So, is there a scientific basis for this claim?
1. Regarding the statement that white porridge has been included in the breakfast blacklist
1. White porridge as a simple oneCarbohydrates, the main thing that is provided is energy and lessamount of vitamins and minerals
If served as breakfast for a long time, it can lead to malnutrition, especially a lack of protein and other important nutrients.
For example, for diabetic patients, drinking only white porridge for breakfast may cause a rapid rise in blood sugar after a meal, which is not conducive to blood sugar control.
2. White porridge is gelatinized at high temperature and is easily digested and absorbed by the human body
For people with weakened digestive functions, drinking white porridge may be a good choice. However, if you drink a large amount of white porridge for a long time, it will lead to a decrease in the digestion ability of the stomach, and problems such as excessive stomach acid and stomach pain will occur.
For example, Dr. Zhang Wenhong once suggested that you should not only drink porridge for breakfast, because it will lead to a decrease in digestion, and suggested that the stomach should be properly stimulated with some hard, cold, sour and spicy food, which will make the stomach more and more courageous and stronger.
3. Many people think that white porridge helps nourish the stomach
However, in reality, white porridge may aggravate symptoms for people with an upset stomach. Because the good digestion and emptying characteristics of porridge can stimulate gastric acid secretion, leading to stomach pain and aggravation of esophageal reflux.
Therefore, if you have stomach problems or stomach discomfort, it is best to consult a doctor for advice, rather than blindly following the saying "white porridge nourishes the stomach".
2. In addition to white porridge, there are many other healthy breakfast options
For example, whole-grain bread, oatmeal, yogurt, fruits, eggs, nuts, etc. are all good options. These foods not only provide adequate energy and nutrients, but also promote gastrointestinal motility and aid digestion and bowel movements.
Summary;Breakfast is essential for our health. We should avoid relying only on white porridge for breakfast, and instead choose a varied and nutritious breakfast to meet the needs of the body.
