Success has a lot to do with diet, exercise, and perseverance, with diet accounting for a large proportion.
The staple food is an important part of the three meals a day, and many people are accustomed to eating delicate staple foods such as white flour steamed buns or white rice. It is undeniable that carbohydrates are a necessity for the human body, and in the energy required by the human body, protein accounts for 15%-20%, fat accounts for 25%-30%, and the rest of the energy is supplied by carbohydrates, accounting for more than 50%.
In addition to providing necessary energy, most carbohydrate foods also provide a large amount of dietary fiber, which are necessary conditions for the normal operation of the body. Why are these whole grains such as common oats, black rice, purple rice, and barley beneficial?
Whole grains contain more nutrients such as dietary fiber, B vitamins, minerals, and unsaturated fatty acids because they retain intact grains. Whole grains are rich in dietary fiber, which can slow down the digestion and absorption of sugar, help maintain the stability of blood sugar after meals, and avoid stimulating insulin secretion due to sudden increases in blood sugar, so as to reduce fat accumulation. The dietary fiber in whole grains absorbs water in the stomach and expands to provide a longer feeling of fullness, which reduces the calorie intake of other foods**.
How to eat whole grains is more beneficial?
It is recommended that each person should consume 250-400 grams of cereals and potatoes per day, of which the intake of whole grains and miscellaneous legumes should reach 50-100 grams, and pay attention to less oil and less sugar when cooking.
