Rice and wheat(小麦) are important in our life. We eat them a lot. But do you know how they influence our health?A study has offered an answer.
In the study, researchers invite more than 100, 000 people from Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia and Xinjiang in northwest China. These people are between 35 and 74 years old.
The researchers divide (分开) these people into three groups
according to how often they eat rice and wheat each week. The first group eat rice either daily or four to six times a week, and eat wheat less. The second group prefer wheat, and the third group eat both rice and wheat with similar frequency(频率). They find rice lovers may have a lower risk of obesity(肥胖), while for wheat lovers, the risk is higher.
Then the researchers want to know whether a change in eating habits would make any difference. They ask wheat lovers to start eating rice five times a week. Those with normal weight show a 36.5 per cent lower risk of obesity in men and a 20.5 per cent lower risk of central obesity(stomach fat) in women.
According to the researchers, wheat takes in less water than rice when cooked and has higher energy than cooked rice of the same weight. Moreover, rice often comes with fresh vegetables, meat and fish. But wheat lovers in northwest China usually eat a large bowl of noodles with little vegetables or meat, and sometimes even with a lot of oil. So which do you prefer, rice or wheat?
