Rice began to be eaten approximately 9 thousand years ago. At first it was popular in Asia, and later spread throughout the planet. Today this cereal is one of the most common.

Like any food product, porridge has its advantages and disadvantages for the human body. For many years now, there has been debate about whether rice is healthy or more harmful.

Chemical composition and calorie content of rice porridge

Cereals contain a large number of useful substances, which include:

• copper;
• potassium;
• manganese;
• vitamins B, E and PP;
• phosphorus;
• zinc;
• iron;
• magnesium;
• chlorine;
• selenium;
• calcium;
• cobalt;
• sulfur;
• molybdenum;
• chromium.

Raw and processed grains contain silicon, most of which is excreted from the body due to poor absorption. Cereals contain slow carbohydrates, which help keep you full for a long time due to prolonged absorption and assimilation. Proper functioning of the gastrointestinal tract is ensured by the presence of a large amount of dietary fiber. Essential acids, which include leucine, valine, tryptophan and others, help normalize the functioning of all systems and organs.

Rice does not contain vegetable protein such as gluten. For this reason, porridge is allowed to be consumed by people allergic to this component. White rice has 354 calories. per 100 g of dry product, and in brown - 330. Porridge with milk contains 97 kcal, and a mixture prepared with water - 78.

Rice super diet: what you can eat

What should you consider when creating a menu? Rice is the main, but not the only product. It is best to use the brown variety. Its calorie content per 100 grams is only 109 kcal.

To successfully lose weight and remove toxins from the body, you must follow a drinking regime - 2-2.5 liters of fluid per day. This can be herbal or green tea (without sweeteners), plain water, or apple juice diluted with water. If there is insufficient water intake in the body, constipation is possible.

The rice diet allows for the use of a minimal amount of salt. It is added to food before consumption. To avoid health problems, you should take vitamin and mineral complexes containing potassium. This element ensures normal heart function.

There are several options for rice diets. Each of them provides its own list of permitted products. The best results can be achieved with a strict rice diet (10 kg per week). But few girls can tolerate a diet consisting only of rice. However, it can be varied with two or three green apples.

The benefits of rice porridge for the body

Rice porridge
The beneficial properties of porridge include:

• calming effect on the nervous system and eliminating sleep problems;
• providing energy reserves and a long-lasting feeling of satiety;
• strengthening the cardiovascular system;
• restoration of digestion and reduction of acidity in the stomach;
• improvement of the condition of skin, bone tissue and hair;
• cleansing the body of toxins;
• preventing the development of anemia and restoring strength after serious illnesses;
• losing weight by improving fat metabolism.

For children

Rice is one of the foods that is added to the diet when starting complementary feeding. During breastfeeding, porridge is introduced from 7-8 months. When a child consumes formula milk, you can give porridge with milk. It is suitable for children who often have diarrhea. The components of rice provide a strengthening effect, and the starch-mucous consistency is well absorbed by the growing body.

The enveloping properties help improve digestion, so rice porridge should be included in the child’s menu. The use of the product should be avoided if you are prone to constipation, obesity and abdominal colic. The dish is introduced into the diet after consultation with a pediatrician.

For the elderly

An elderly person can consume rice mixture, as it has a beneficial effect on intestinal motility. If consumed in moderation, constipation or diarrhea will not occur due to the normalization of metabolism. The dish is a preventative against Alzheimer's disease, heart attack and stroke, and also has a positive effect on the cardiovascular system.

When porridge is consumed correctly, the level of bad cholesterol in the blood decreases. Elderly people with gastritis and peptic ulcers need to eat a viscous porridge that envelops the sensitive mucous membrane and eliminates irritation.

For weight loss

White polished rice contains fast carbohydrates, so rice porridge is consumed in the first half of the day and before training. It is not recommended to eat the dish in the evening. When losing weight, it is necessary to introduce the product into the diet correctly, so as not to exceed the norm of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Brown rice contains slow carbohydrates, but is not low in calories.

If a person is determined to eliminate extra pounds, then sugar, condensed milk or other sweets are not added to dishes. To improve the taste of porridge, dried fruits and nuts are added according to the BJU norm. The best food option is a rice mixture with the addition of herbs and light vegetables.

In case of poisoning

Rice has an absorbent ability, so it is used for any poisoning that can be caused by bacteria or infection. To quickly restore strength, you need to prepare and eat porridge without salt and granulated sugar.

The beneficial and harmful qualities of the rice mixture depend on the method of preparing the dish. Experts advise draining the liquid after cooking the porridge and drinking it. Thanks to rice grains, all harmful substances are removed from the body, and the decoction coats the walls of the stomach and accelerates the elimination of inflammatory processes.

For gastritis and pancreatitis

Rice porridge for gastritis
If you have gastritis in the acute stage, it is recommended to eat rice porridge. It does not irritate the gastric mucosa and is gently absorbed without causing pain or nausea. The dish promotes satiety, which is important for a disease in which an acute feeling of hunger should not be allowed. In this situation, there is an increased release of digestive enzymes that harm the stomach.

The product is introduced into the diet for pancreatitis 2 days after completion of therapeutic fasting and elimination of pain. With this pathology, porridge is cooked in such a way that it is soft and liquid. For preparation, choose polished grains, which can be pre-ground in a blender. This way the product will not damage the diseased organ. At the same time, no butter, sugar or salt are added to the dish. The porridge is boiled in water, and after a few weeks milk can be introduced.

For diarrhea

When you have an upset stomach, you often eat rice porridge, and the decoction helps get rid of the ailment. To prepare a medicinal drink, you need to pour 100 g of cereal into 1 liter of water and wait for it to boil. Then cook over low heat for 30 minutes. Strain the liquid and drink 1/3 glass 3-4 times a day until the symptoms of diarrhea disappear.

When preparing food for children, 50 g of cereal is poured into 1 liter of water and cooked for 10 minutes. Small children are given ½ tsp. three times a day. To ensure antidiarrheal and enveloping effects, white rice is chosen because it contains more starch than unpolished grains.

Rice on an empty stomach in the morning. Recommendations

How to properly clean rice at home? A few general points will help you figure it out.

What kind of rice is best to use?

• Red (variety called "Ruby")

During production, it only peels off, but is not polished, due to which it contains many useful substances and is quite suitable for cleansing the body.

• White

It loses its beneficial properties twice: when it is polished during production and during cooking. After this, it is starch in its pure form. It is better not to use it to remove salts and toxins.

• Brown (aka black, or wild)

An ideal option for cleansing the body. Its processing during production is minimal, contains all the necessary useful substances and retains its crystal lattice intact.

• Indian (naval)

Has nothing to do with cereals. This is a bacterium called zooglea, which looks like grains of rice. It is a mushroom grown at home in a jar. Its infusion perfectly cleanses the body, as it is an excellent natural diuretic.

• Steamed

Can be used to remove waste and toxins, but do not get carried away.

• Basmati

If you do not cook and choose steamed, it will also be suitable for this procedure. It is more easily absorbed by the body than other varieties.

What type of rice to choose for weight loss, how to organize a diet and what dishes to prepare? About this in the article at the link.

Deadlines

The duration of the course depends on its purpose. If the goal is to get rid of salt deposits in the joints, then you will have to carry out the procedure for 2 months and it will be possible to repeat it only after 2 years. If you need a standard cleansing (of the whole body or a specific organ), everything will be much faster: from 1 day to 1 month.

Cooking method

Milk porridge for breakfast, fatty pilaf for lunch, a nutritious side dish for dinner - all these dishes are useless in terms of cleansing. To achieve the result, the grain is pre-soaked. The need for such a condition is explained scientifically. The structure of this cereal is a crystal lattice, between the nodes of which there are gluten and starch. The water washes them away and the cells begin to be visible quite clearly. This protects the cereal from complete digestion in the gastrointestinal tract. Once in the intestines, it acts like a sponge.

Rice for cleansing the body should be cooked until al dente, i.e. slightly undercooked, hard

When boiled, starch and gluten are firmly fixed in the lattice, blurring its boundaries, and the cereal can no longer absorb anything. Therefore, the only thing that is allowed when cleaning is to boil the rice for no more than 5 minutes so that it remains hard. This condition is called al dente.

Nutrition

When cleansing the body, it is necessary to give up salt (this is a categorical prohibition, if you violate it, do not expect results). You will also have to limit fatty meat, sausages, smoked meats, fast food, snacks, spicy foods, and alcohol.

The heart may not have enough potassium, which will be excreted along with salts. Therefore, eat more foods rich in it: potatoes, dried apricots, raisins, bananas, apple cider vinegar, honey, tea, whole grain cereals, herbs, nuts. Replenishing potassium through medications is possible, but only with the permission of a doctor.

Little life hacks

1. An hour before eating rice, eat an apple - this will enhance the cleansing effect.
2. After a month of active cleansing, the urine will become cloudy from salts, an incomprehensible mucus will be visible in it - this should not scare you, as harmful substances begin to come out. The effect can last up to 3 months.
3. Do not combine rice cleansing with other detoxification methods or diets.
4. If you smoke, you may not expect results. Rice will have to fight new toxins, not old ones.
5. If you feel worse, the procedure should be stopped and seek help from a doctor.
6. 2 liters of clean water per day will help improve the cleansing effect of rice.
7. It is advisable to consume rice in the morning, on an empty stomach. After this, it is not recommended to eat for 3 hours.

Is it possible to have rice porridge during pregnancy?

During pregnancy, the diet is enriched with rice, which is combined with fish, vegetables, meat and fruits. Pregnant women will benefit from milk soup, for the preparation of which the cereal is poured with milk, the container with the food is placed on the fire, salt, sugar and butter are added to taste after boiling. To make the porridge more vitamin-rich, boiled carrots are added to it.

Boiled rice is a healthy side dish. To prepare the dish, cut bell peppers, carrots, beans and onions into cubes, place the vegetables in a stewing container. After that, they are mixed with boiled rice and baked in the oven for 10 minutes. This mixture will benefit the fetus and the woman. In this case, they follow one rule: during cooking, use a minimum amount of hot spices and fatty meats. There are no more restrictions.

Soaked rice. Tibetan rice cleansing method

The Tibetan rice diet is one of the most complex, but at the same time effective methods of cleansing the body. The principle of the diet is to eat soaked rice. To ensure a constant volume of rice grains, it is recommended to carry out preliminary preparation, which lasts 5 days. The stages of preparing rice for the Tibetan method of purification are:

1. The first day . Prepare 5 containers (glasses, jars) and draw numbers from 1 to 5 on them with nail polish or a marker. Pour rice (2 tablespoons) into container No. 1 and fill with water to the brim. Leave the remaining containers empty.
2. Second day . Rinse the cereal in container No. 1 and refill with clean water. Pour rice into bowl No. 2 and pour water as on the first day.
3. Day three. Rinse the rice in vessels No. 1 and No. 2 and fill with clean water. Pour a portion of cereal into container No. 3 and add water.
4. Day four . Pour rice into container No. 4, rinse the contents of the remaining containers and fill with fresh water.
5. Day five. Pour 2-3 tablespoons of rice into container No. 5, and repeat all other manipulations.

After such preparatory actions, begin cleansing, which should continue for 40 days.
On the first day, rice from container No. 1 is used, and on the second, rice from container No. 2 is cooked, on the third, rice from container No. 3 is used, etc. Do not forget to fill the empty containers with a new portion of cereal in order to provide a daily portion of soaked “five-day aged” rice.
Also, do not forget to regularly wash the rice in other containers. Porridge is prepared from soaked cereals, which must be cooked in water without salt, sugar, oil or any spices. Rice is consumed in the morning instead of breakfast. Half an hour before a meal, you should drink a glass of any liquid (water, tea, herbal decoction). Then for 4 hours you need to refuse any drink or food. If you do not suffer from ulcers or gastritis, you can not cook the rice, but eat it raw. This increases the cleaning efficiency significantly.

Is rice porridge good for nursing women?

Rice porridge with milk
The product is useful for breastfeeding due to its neutrality and hypoallergenicity, so it will not cause a bad reaction in the baby. Rice porridge, the benefits and harms of which are provided by its vitamin and mineral composition, will help increase milk production. Due to impaired intestinal motility in women after childbirth, it can cause constipation.

For this reason, liquid soups with rice are prepared during this period. Porridge is cooked in water for the first 3-4 months and only then is it switched to milk if it does not cause a negative reaction from the body of the child and mother. For a gradual transition over several weeks, water and milk are mixed in equal quantities.

Unsalted rice benefits. Benefits of unsalted rice for joints

if you eat it they say the joints are restored. In any case, they say that it washes out all sorts of rubbish from the joints and is fed to all kinds of arthritic and other patients. Is this so, a question for knowledgeable people.

yes zhora scheme you need 4 containers for soaking 1st day - soak 4 spoons of rice 2nd day - change the water in the first glass, soak another 4 spoons in another glass 3rd day - change the water in the first 2 glasses, soak 3rd 4th day - change the water in 3 glasses, soak for 4-1 5 days - cook rice from the first glass for breakfast (without salt! soak a new batch, change the water in the rest; eat rice instead of breakfast, full lunch and dinner for 40 days, once a year about yourself. Method I couldn’t handle it (it was difficult to soak)

Why the hell are there so many soakings?

Apparently they are trying to soak the starch

Awesome!

yes, don’t eat or drink there yet for at least 2 hours after eating, they recommend taking extra calcium

Well, rice seems to wash away calcium, I’ve heard about that.

That’s why you should take it additionally, if you suddenly manage, write the result, I’ll also decide

No, I’ll just eat unsalted rice purely, but soaking it is too much for me.

Why is starch bad?

What then is the meaning of unsaltedness?

is that people are stupid. I suspect that there is no clinical testing of this method. Pure OBS.

Salt itself is deposited and harms the joints; I think there is no particular need to use it during the “treatment” period. if you don't read the offtopic and this seems to be true

Well, my brother’s wife suffered from such nonsense - it was her diet that was like that. I really lost weight, by the way. But I didn’t even know about the vessels.

I haven’t heard about soaking so seriously, but I heard that the Japanese/Chinese do this (they eat unsalted rice in the morning on an empty stomach for n days to remove excess salt from the joints (so that they don’t crunch).

She lost weight due to the fact that excess water left the body (unsalted rice also contributes to this)

Or because for breakfast I didn’t bite off half a kilo of potatoes, but a handful of rice.

Salt in the joints is a 5. Maybe it’s easier to drink beer in this situation?

The funny thing is that mostly uric acid salts are deposited in the joints, and not sodium chloride aka table salt. It’s surprising that despite this, switching to a salt-free diet helps the joints

Soak it, soak it, don’t get smart

Gentlemen, please describe the recipe in detail again. and another question - what if I use brown instead of white (I only buy Mistral - Indica Brown)? It’s supposed to be hotter, it probably needs to be soaked longer (you should try it as much as you like).

Why is brown better?

Rice therapy Actually, I learned this diet a long time ago... At least, as far as I know, Gennady Statsenko brought it to Gorky back in those distant times when Yoga as such was banned, and groups of like-minded people were called Health Groups. Or not that he brought it. I learned about it somewhere in 88-90, already from my Teacher. It should be noted that this diet is aimed primarily at preventing diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Good results for arthritis and osteochondrosis. And, accordingly, I strongly recommended it to my patients. The most interesting thing is that over time, a pattern became noticeable - in addition to osteochondrosis and various joint diseases, it became clear that against the background of the “Rice Therapy” diet, adherents (those who decided to use it) simultaneously lost weight! The point is this. Take 2 kg of Brown or Unpolished rice. Four regular glasses or jars, numbered from 1 to 4. Every day, 2-3 tablespoons of rice are poured into the glass. Wash thoroughly. Fill with clean cold water. The next day the second jar is the same. In the first, the rice is thoroughly washed. Etc. On the 5th day, the rice from the first glass is washed and porridge is cooked from it, and a new portion of rice is poured into the empty glass. That. the procedure is repeated every four days until the rice runs out, usually about 30-40 days. Porridge is cooked in water without salt, spices, sugar, butter, etc. Eat for breakfast on an empty stomach. Drink 1-3 glasses of water first. After eating porridge, do not drink or eat for 4 hours. After this, drink a glass of water and you can eat. Before bed, during the day, drink more water than usual (up to 2-3 liters). Meals are preferably vegetarian. It is necessary to sharply limit the consumption of salt and spices, i.e. salt-free diet for this entire time. There are no contraindications, but maybe “crises” - increased pain for a while, symptoms of intoxication. In this case, increase your water consumption. There is experience using this therapy during pregnancy (about 4-5 months). With all of the above, I want to note: this technique is not a textbook on medicine. When using it for treatment, all recommendations must be agreed upon with the attending physician.
