【米水功效】太肥或太瘦都叫人苦惱
喝米水可以減肥/增肥嗎?
有正在減肥的人聞澱粉質而色變,問我們:「多喝米水會肥嗎?」喝米水的功效在於養好脾胃,如果脾胃虛弱,消化及運化能力失常,難以推動體內水液,代謝循環不暢,身體無法把體內多餘水份排出體外,水濕停於體內,聚成痰濕,形成水腫、痰等症狀,反而會令身體變得肥腫。
脾胃虛弱亦會形成另一種身型極端——食極唔肥,因為脾胃受損等於消化系統失常,儘管有多貴多營養的食物補品,身體都不能正常吸收,出現稍吃油膩或多吃後便會腹瀉、大便次數增加等脾胃症狀。
養好脾胃,使消化吸收及轉化功能正常運作,身體才能攝取飲食中的營養,然後才能靠運動、調節飲食去控制體重及身型,所以喝米水是調理身體功效的飲品,不會直接減肥或增肥,唯有養好脾胃後,減肥或增肥會事半功倍。
・米水Q&A・
問:米水卡路里有多少?
答:以我們的紙包米水為例,一包250毫升的紙包米水有約15至16千卡(千卡為卡路里的單位),一包20克的即沖朝米水粉有約71千卡,一碗白飯約200千卡,所以米水的卡路里其實很低呢。
Can you lose or gain weight by drinking rice water?
A lot of people on diets hear about carbs and say- wouldn’t I gain weight from drinking rice water? The benefit of rice water is mainly to nourish the spleen and stomach. Those with asthenic spleen and stomach will have malfunctioning digestive systems, leading to difficulty circulating fluids, and the body cannot remove excess fluids from the body. With the dampness in body, it can lead to edema and phlegm causing the body to be chubbier.
There is also another extreme result of asthenic spleen and stomach- inability to gain weight no matter what you eat. Due to the weakened digestive system, no matter what nutritious foods you consume, you body cannot properly absorb the necessary nutrients. You may be prone to diarrhea just be eating some slightly oilier things or overeating by a bit.
Keeping a healthy spleen and diet helps the body absorb, convert and transport allowing the body to absorb proper nutrients. You can then rely on exercising and diet control to manage your body weight and shape. Rice water is a way to strengthen your overall health, and not for gaining or losing weight. Your objective to gain or lose weight would be easier when you have a healthy spleen and stomach.
