“RICE – Food to have this summer” : my inputs for today’s ASIAN AGE

Here’s why rice & traditional rice-based dishes are great for your summer diet-

1. Rice is a natural coolant, it reduces body heat

2. Many communities in the Eastern part of our country (Bengal, Assam and Orissa) have traditionally been cooling cooked rice in water and leaving it overnight. This fermented rice is then consumed in the morning. It is known to prevent heat strokes and stomach ulcer

3. Phodni cha bhaat, a typical Maharashtrian dish, made from left over rice and combinations like curd rice are rich in probiotic bacteria and Vit B12. Consuming these meals promote healthy diversity of gut flora, relieves you of constipation and will make you look thinner & flatter in your tummy
