Is rice bad for cholesterol?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Rice as altogether is not either bad or good for cholesterol. White rice has high cholesterol and also it is easily digestible, so one tends to overeat. On the other hand, brown rice is whole grain with low glycemic index, has less cholesterol and more fiber which promotes fullness.

View allI'm noticing my heartbeat feels really strong and visible in my stomach and chest all the time. Sometimes when I'm just sitting, it actually makes my body move with each beat. Is that something normal? My heart rate usually sits between 70 to 80 beats per minute, and my blood pressure is around 12090. Does that sound okay?
Having a visible heartbeat in your stomach and chest, along with feeling strong pulsations, can be concerning. This may be due to a condition called aortic aneurysm or other cardiovascular issues. Your blood pressure of 12090 is slightly elevated and should be monitored. It's important to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.
