Resistant starch acts as a prebiotic for healthy bacteria, known as probiotics.
How is resistant starch formed
This is a highly resistant starch that is formed during the heat treatment of starchy foods, which are subsequently cooled.
Simply put, if you take a starchy product like potatoes, cook it, and then let it cool, many other types of starch are converted into resistant starch.
Most often, resistant starch is found in beans, oatmeal and oatmeal, and green bananas (this, by the way, is the most unusual source of resistant starch - the greener the banana, the healthier it is for the intestines, and the better it is for the figure).
What are the benefits of resistant starch
The properties of resistant starch are similar to fiber.
It, like dietary fiber, supports beneficial bacteria in the intestines, becoming a breeding ground for them.
According to the study: consumption of resistant starches improves a number of human physiological indicators: glycemic and insulin index, blood lipid composition, increases the feeling of satiety.
