Russian nutritionist Alexei Kovalkov revealed that eating rice on a daily basis can cause serious diseases.
In statements to “Sputnik”, the expert warned of the risk of diabetes due to eating rice daily.
The main danger of rice is that it contains starch
He explained that the main danger of rice is that it contains a high percentage of starch, and that this starch is converted in the human body into glucose, which raises the level of sugar in the blood, forcing the pancreas to secrete a large amount of insulin, which is the period before diabetes.
He added that with time, type 2 diabetes can develop into insulin-dependent diabetes, as these risks appear when a person eats rice every day.
The specialist indicated that to reduce these risks, it is recommended to eat different types of rice that have a low glycemic index, pointing out that this indicator is low in:
1- Steamed rice.
2- Low in basmati types.
3- The rice for preparing the plov.
The nutritionist recommended that everyone who suffers from a high level of insulin in the blood refrain from eating rice on a daily basis, and people who do not suffer from this problem can eat it without fear and normally.
