For fatigued office workers, eating steamed buns for lunch is more suitable than eating rice. Yeast fermentation not only makes the food taste better but also improves its nutritional value.
The latest research abroad shows that consuming foods rich in antioxidants has a significant effect in combating fatigue and relieving stress. Steamed buns contain much more selenium and glutathione than rice, which have the effect of anti-lipid peroxidation, block free radical damage to cells, and enhance the body's immune system, thereby relieving psychological and physical stress.
Calcium is a natural stress reliever. People who lack calcium will be exhausted and highly nervous, and the fatigue from work cannot be relieved. Fermented steamed buns contain much more calcium than rice.
Steamed buns have lower calories than rice, the former being only 70% of the latter, and they contain lower levels of fat and sugar. Therefore, it is more nutritious for office workers to replace white rice with steamed buns for lunch.
