    Poha or rice: Know which is the healthier version for you

    Poha is light on the stomach and simple to digest. "It's easy on the stomach and makes you feel fuller while not making you fat." Furthermore, it is low in calories, making it an ideal weight-loss lunch!"

    Digital
    Desk:
    Poha is popular among health-conscious people
    and those trying to lose weight. This simple recipe not only provides a wealth
    of nutrients but also keeps you full. It also has a variety of other health
    benefits.



    Rice, on the other hand, is polished and
    contains high quantities of arsenic. According to a survey released in
    'Consumer Reports,' long-term arsenic use can cause skin, neurological system,
    and lung problems.



     



    Raw poha is low in fat
    and sugar, according to dietician Mac Singh. In one of his Facebook posts, he
    stated that adding veggies and shallow frying them does not greatly raise the
    fat level, as long as the correct oil is used. The nutritionist explained five
    reasons why poha is a better option than rice.



    It has fibre and
    healthful carbs

    carbs. "Poha, unlike rice, is not polished and contains 2-4 g of fibre per
    100gm serving, depending on the source and processing." Aside from being
    gluten-free, it contains a high fibre content that aids with blood sugar
    regulation."

    Rich source of iron

    flattened rice or poha, according to the nutritionist. "Those who are
    anaemic can include poha in their diet." This snack is high in iron, and
    if eaten daily, you will never be iron deficient. "A little lemon juice in
    poha helps with iron absorption," he says.

    Poha is high in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals

    high in vitamins and other minerals. Vitamin C is found in lemons and green
    chilies.



    Hidden probiotic food

    to learn that poha is also a probiotic. "This is because it is made by
    boiling paddy and then drying it in the sun for a few hours." Poha is
    formed by hammering the dry substance flat. The microbial flora from the
    partially digested glucose and proteins has been preserved because the finished
    food has been fermented, which is healthy to the gut," Singh explained.
