Experts warn that white rice raises blood sugar quickly, as it has little fiber and protein, causing fatigue or jitters after a short time. Brown rice, on the other hand, has more fiber and vitamins, so it affects sugar more slowly.
The method of preparation also matters: cooling white rice and then reheating it makes it "slower" on blood sugar. Also, combining it with protein, healthy fats, and fibrous vegetables helps stabilize sugar.
Experts also advise controlling portion size and using other grains like quinoa, barley or oats to keep sugar at normal levels.
