People are regularly washing rice and throwing away rice water without knowing the different uses of it. When you wash rice, it washes away all the nutrients and starch on the outside, loading the water. In order to take the most out of your rice water, boiling it draws out more starches than just regularly soaking it in water. Drinking cooked rice water in the morning when you take in the nutrients, can boost your energy throughout the day. It is easy to digest for both adults and children, making it a source of baby food as well. The more you drink rice water, naturally, it can improve gut and digestion health and can also balance your electrolyte levels in your body. Rice water can also improve your hair and skin, and you can use it as a toner for pores, a hair mask and tonic, and by mixing it with other ingredients, you can make a homemade face serum. It can also be used for cleansing, lighting up your skin tone, and getting rid of sun and age spots. Rice water is said to be beneficial for acne because the starch in the water can be used to reduce redness and inflammation of both acne and eczema.
