Rice is not only used for cooking or grinding into flour, but can also be processed into a simple, safe, healthy drink. This is a good drink, can be used regularly, and does not cause many side effects.

The most abundant ingredient in rice is carbohydrates, an essential nutrient that provides energy for the body, especially the brain and central nervous system, and protects the body against disease. In addition, rice also contains many other nutrients, especially B vitamins and minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus... which are good for overall health.

Rice in starch form, cooked into rice, will help slow digestion and help you feel full longer. When roasted rice is used as a drink, the starch structure is broken, so it is easy to absorb when entering the body. Therefore, roasted rice water has many benefits, especially the effect of supplementing water and nutrients, especially for people who do heavy labor, the body is prone to dehydration. Because of this effect, roasted rice water is suitable for people with diarrhea, can be used many times a day.

You can drink roasted rice water regularly, but be careful not to use it instead of rice, and don't drink too much at once because it will cause weight gain. When drinking, you should not add sugar because rice itself contains starch.
