• Is rice healthy or unhealthy?

    The dietary fiber, or rice crackers, in rice prevents constipation and maintains colon
    health.

    It contains vitamins B1, B2, and E, all of which are essential for the health of your skin.
    This ensures that you have healthy and beautiful skin.

    One cup of rice contains fewer calories compared to other foods.

    In a bowl of rice, there are 160 kcal of energy. This amount may be compared to a slice
    from 6 loaves of bread, about half of a shortcake, and one-third of an instant noodle
    package.

    It is also processed slowly. This makes a slow-gaining food difficult to be stored in the
    body in the form of fats. Thus, it could be termed as a food that has a tendency of being
    difficult for weight gain.

    It is mainly constituted of carbohydrates (77%) and proteins (7%) and is used by the
    body for the purpose of getting energy.

    Additionally, fruits have different nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and dietary fibers.

    Protein is about as common as beef or milk.

    It delivers the right combination of essential amino acids needed by the body.

    In Japan, rice contributes 23.4% of their needed proteins daily.

    Mike,

    The dietary fiber, or rice crackers, in rice prevents
    constipation and maintains colon health.

    The only rice I don't care for is the "Spanish Rice", with all
    the peppers and spices. Otherwise, I love rice pilaf, white and
    yellow rice, dirty rice, and some others. There are deals in
    microwave cups that you zap for a minute, and it makes a great
    snack.

    Be sure to have plenty of beverage though, as if the rice is
    overcooked, it can be rather dry.
