Is Rice better than wheat?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Although rice and wheet are both staple foods in India, choice is dependant on individual's need and health status. Rice provides the same amount of iron as wheat but has less phosphorus, potassium and magnesium. It doesn't contain any calcium. Each serving of chapatis provides high calcium, phosphorus, iron and potassium compared to rice. Rice is easier to digest while wheet keeps you full for longer. Rice is rich in folate while wheet has protein. Rice is high glycemic index while wheet is good for diabetics.

I'm carrying around an extra 15 kilograms and I'd really like to shed that weight. Can you help me figure out the right diet plan to follow for losing these extra kilos? Is there something specific in my eating habits I should be adjusting?
Avoid processed foods and prefer whole wheats. Restrict sugar intake and fried foods to a minimum. Use an app or counter to measure your daily calorie intake and try to maintain a calorie deficit for each day. Find a sport which you enjoy, such as badminton or yoga, and engage in physical activity for at least 150 minutes every week. Consult a dietician to work out a sustainable diet plan.
