Those who have a weight problem, it is advisable to eat brown rice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The round rice or the shorter grain rice is sticky and the Chinese like it because it is easier to eat with chopsticks. They are pearly white or brown<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The longer grain rice is less sticky, and basmati is the best example<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Basmati rice, particularly wholegrain is the best rice for type 2 diabetes. This rice has the lowest glycemic index of all rice types, which means once digested it releases its energy slowly keeping blood sugar levels more stable<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Basmati rice has the greatest amount of a type known as amylose, and as a result breaking down with the enzyme amylase is much slower, slowing the digestive process which does not give rise to sugar spikes in your blood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Both wholegrain and white Basmati rice contains a type of carb known as resistant starch. This has a prebiotic effect in the bowel and the gut microbes feed on them and produce beneficial short chain fatty acids which protects your large gut mucosa against inflammatory diseases including cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">You could make any white or brown rice to have resistant starch through its cooking process. According to a Sri Lankan researcher adding coconut oil to the boiling rice and cooling in the refrigerator overnight will make the starch in the rice more resistant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">This would be the ideal rice that all diabetics must eat to prevent sugar spikes in their blood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">How much rice should be eaten per day if you are a diabetic?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Brown, red or any unprocessed rice would be the best choice for diabetes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Long grain such as Basmati has a low glycemic index and has resistant starch and would be the best choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Starch in white rice could be made into resistant starch through cooking process, and such rice would be a good choice for diabetes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Quantity-wise, half a cup of cooked rice would be ideal to control blood sugar levels in the blood whether on anti-diabetic medication or not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Fill your plate with dhal curry, and other spicy vegetable curries for satiety and feel full after a meal for self-satisfaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Eat plenty of veggies, pulses and nuts being low glycemic foods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Noodles and pastas are also good substitutes for rice, as their glycemic index is much lower than rice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Hope this video talk was useful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Please take care and reiterating eat unprocessed foods if you are a diabetic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Goodbye for now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Website:<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.Doctorharold.com\">www.Doctorharold.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What would be the best diet plan for Sri Lankans having diabetes?-by Harold Gunatillake &nbsp; Transcript: Yes, let us discuss the topic, and let me explain the myths, and what\u00a0 the best dietary module acceptable, if you have diabetes type 2.
