The Truth About Rice: Healthy Staple or Sneaky Carb?
In this episode, we break down the pros and cons of eating rice, one of the most common staples in diets around the world. While it's often seen as a safe go-to, rice isn’t technically a whole food — it’s minimally processed, especially in its white form, and that makes a difference.
We dive into:
✅ Pros – It’s easy to digest, affordable, gluten-free, and a great energy source
⚠️ Cons – It spikes blood sugar, lacks fiber and nutrients compared to whole grains, and can contribute to inflammation when over-consumed
We also cover the differences between white vs. brown rice, the importance of balance, and how to build a better plate if you're chasing long-term health.
Rice isn’t the enemy — but knowing how it affects your body makes all the difference.
