Eating habits centered on carbohydrates, causing various health problems… Additional grains that are good to add to rice
Obesity is not simply a condition of being overweight. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines obesity as a disease that requires treatment as excessive body fat accumulates in the body. There are various causes of obesity, including lack of exercise and genetics. Unhealthy eating habits cannot be left out.
In modern society, where the consumption of fast food and meat such as hamburgers, pizza, ramen, and bread has increased rapidly, the increase in obesity and diabetes is a natural result. In particular, refined carbohydrates, such as flour, which modern people eat as their staple food, are considered the main cause of obesity because they quickly raise blood sugar levels and make people hungry quickly. Ironically, rice, which Koreans enjoy eating, is also the main culprit of obesity.
If you need to take care of your health, such as improving your eating habits, there is a simple way to add complex carbohydrates to rice. Practice a healthy diet by using grains rich in dietary fiber and antioxidants, such as farro, oats, and barley.
‘Farro’, an ancient grain loved by Italians… Helps prevent obesity and aging
The ancient grain farro contains about 40 nutrients. It can be of great help in supplementing various nutrients and preventing obesity. Farro, a complex carbohydrate that has not been refined or genetically modified, is also rich in resistant starch and dietary fiber, which are digested slowly after consumption. This not only prevents overeating, but also keeps you feeling fuller for a long time after eating and is also beneficial for bowel movements.
Farro is mainly grown in the Tuscany region of Italy and contains 10 types of essential amino acids and 10 types of vitamins, as well as ferulic acid, phytic acid, and arabinoxylan, which are effective in dieting and improving diabetes. Farro has a low sugar level, making it effective in managing blood sugar and cholesterol. According to a study published in the international journal “Journal of Food Science,” adding farro to the diet of diabetic patients reduced fat and LDL cholesterol levels. Farro, which also contains antioxidant compounds, is good for skin health and anti-aging.
In fact, Italy, where farro consumption is high, recorded the lowest obesity rate among EU countries even though carbohydrate diets such as pizza, bread, and pasta are the staple foods. It is analyzed that this is due to the eating habit of mainly eating ancient grains or whole grains that have undergone minimal processing even when eating the same carbohydrates.
‘Oats’ have a rough texture but are full of nutrients
Oats, which originated in Central Asia, are currently consumed more in the West than in Asia. Oats are rich in vegetable protein, fat, minerals, and vitamins. It contains twice as much protein as white rice. Oats are rich in antioxidants that are beneficial for preventing cardiovascular disease and calcium that is good for bone health. Some results show that the calcium content of oats is more than four times that of brown rice.
When cooking rice with oats, it is appropriate to use a rice to oat ratio of 7:3. There is also a way to use oatmeal made by roasting and processing oats. You can enjoy oatmeal by lightly frying it in a dry pan.
‘Barley’, an essential part of traditional diet, is rich in dietary fiber
In the past, barley was considered a substitute for rice when rice was in short supply, but the perception is changing as its bioactive functions are being rediscovered. Nowadays, it is common to find households eating barley rice by adding barley to white rice.
Barley is rich in dietary fiber and vitamins. It also has a high beta-glucan content, which helps control blood sugar. However, because digestion occurs quickly, you may feel hungry quickly if you eat only barley. It is ideal to mix rice and barley in a 7:3 ratio.
