JAKARTA, iNewskaranganyar.id – Which of the two, Hot white rice and cold white rice can trigger a rapid increase in blood sugar, especially for diabetics?
As is known, the consumption of foods that must be limited by diabetics is one of the foods that have high glycemic levels, such as white rice. The question is, which ones are safe for diabetics to consume. Is it cold rice or hot rice? Check out the more detailed reviews below so you don’t misunderstand.
Diabetics must be careful in consuming white rice to prevent a drastic increase in blood sugar. The higher the glycemic index of a food, the faster the food causes blood sugar to rise.
Hot food does have a different effect than cold food. Of course, hot food will taste delicious when eaten. Different if the food is eaten in cold conditions. However, does this also apply to diabetics who eat white rice?
As quoted from hellosehat, diabetics must limit their consumption of white rice because this food has a high glycemic index (GI). The higher the glycemic index of a food, the faster the food causes a rise in blood sugar.
However, rice at a cooler temperature may not have such a drastic effect on a diabetic’s blood sugar. This is what a group of researchers from the University of Indonesia tried to prove in 2015. They found that cold rice has a higher resistant starch content than hot rice.
Resistant starch is a type of fiber that cannot be digested by the small intestine. This fiber will immediately move to the large intestine to be fermented. Generally, your body digests starch into glucose and this process is what causes blood sugar to rise. Because the body cannot digest resistant starch, this fiber will not be converted into glucose so that blood sugar levels remain stable.
