Pressure sores are areas of skin damage resulting from a lack of blood flow due to pressure. Pressure sores often result from pressure combined with pulling on the skin, friction, and moisture, particularly over bony areas. The diagnosis is usually based on a physical examination.
Rice is a cereal grain that contributes towards constipation. Known for its binding abilities, rice does contain fiber depending on the outer layer of the grain, but it leads to constipation because these are indigestible fibers. Foods rich in indigestible fibers will obstruct the bowel movement causing constipation.
We eat white rice on occasion, usually when we need to make a quick meal or when we visit family members who eat mainly white rice. One of the reasons why Asians have used mainly white rice over the years is that white rice lasts longer in storage than brown rice. The essential fatty acids found in brown rice usually begin to go bad after approximately 6 to 12 months of storage, the exact amount of time depending on how much oxygen is available.
