Diabetes And Other Side Effects Of Eating White Rice Always

Many people consider white rice an “empty” or “bad” carb since it loses nutrients when the bran is removed.

However, white rice is typically enriched with added nutrients such as iron and B vitamins. So while brown rice does have more nutrients than white rice, white rice is still considered nutritious.

Here are some side effects of eating this dish regularly;

Increases diabetes risk

Experts say that white rice happens to have a very high glycemic index (GI) of 64, causing it to turn into blood sugar more rapidly than brown rice. The glycemic index (GI) is a measurement of how quickly your body converts carbohydrates into sugars that can be absorbed. Low-GI foods appear to be healthier for persons with type 2 diabetes, as they generate a slow but steady rise in blood sugar levels. Foods with a higher GI, like this dish might induce fast rises in blood sugar, explains a study published in the Nutrition Journal.

Elevates metabolic syndrome risk

People who consume big amounts of this dish on a regular basis have a higher chance of developing metabolic syndrome, according to a study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The term “metabolic syndrome” refers to a group of risk factors that can increase your risk of developing health problems like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and stroke. However, the link between it and heart disease is still unknown.

Linked with weight gain

It has often been linked to unwanted weight gain. Since it is considered a refined grain and has been stripped of its bran and germ, white rice is considered bad for people trying to lose weight. While many studies have linked refined grain diets to obesity and weight gain, when it comes to this dish, the evidence is mixed. For example, some studies have linked refined grain diets, such as white rice, to weight gain, belly fat, and obesity, while others have shown no link. White rice appears to be neither harmful nor beneficial to weight loss. However, diets heavy in whole grains, such as brown rice, have been demonstrated to improve weight loss and help maintain a healthy body weight more consistently.
