Rice is very good for keeping the body healthy. It is rich in carbohydrates, which boost the body's energy. But eating too much rice is not good, as it raises the risk of gaining weight.

Some foods can cause trouble if eaten with rice. Here are the foods you should not eat with rice.

Many people eat rice and roti together to balance fibre and carbohydrates. But this can be harmful to health.

Both rice and roti have a high glycaemic index, so eating them together can cause gastric problems.

Everyone likes mashed potato, fried potato and potato curry with rice. But the two should not be eaten together.

Nutrition science says eating potatoes with rice has some unhealthy aspects. Both are high in calories, so they can lead to weight gain.

Many people eat fruit right after rice, if not with it. You should be careful here, as eating fruit with rice can cause digestive problems.

The risk is even greater with raw fruit. So eat fruit half an hour after a rice meal, not straight after.

Like potatoes, corn should not be eaten with rice. It is high in starch, which is not very good for the body, and eating it along with the calories and starch in rice raises the risk of weight gain.

Do not drink tea right after eating rice. Give up this habit to keep your stomach healthy. The tannin in tea reacts with calories to produce gas, so it is important to be careful to avoid the risk.
