ld you believe it if you know that there are foods which are high in nutrition, low in calories, and are starch resistant? So what about them? One of the latest dietary craze which may lead to the end of crash diets, are starch resistant foods and baking flours. These foods have known to improve colon or bowel health, prevent cancer, and prevent the onset of type-2 Diabetes. Some of these foods are also available as supplements in the market today. You can buy superfood supplements in UK to overcome your weight and digestive issues.
Starch resistant foods:
Carbohydrate rich foods are not fully digested and convert to sugar which gets stored as fat if it does not get metabolized as energy. Starch resistance foods have insoluble and soluble fibers. While insoluble fibers absorb fluids and help in creating better bowel movements in the colon, soluble fibers get digested slowly and are more vicious, helping one to feel full without having more food cravings. The fibrous starch gets collected in the large intestine or colon to support probiotic bacteria colonization.
Examples of starch resistance foods:
1. Slightly green or not fully ripe bananas can be mixed with regular flour to maintain taste and consistency that one usually experiences with baked items while receiving the benefits of starch resistance.
2. Cold pasta such as pasta salad, and cold potatoes in potato salad also offer carb consumption satisfaction and starch resistance benefits.
3. Whole grain rice, yams, and sweet potatoes can be cooked and can still retain their starch resistance. Legumes and peas also offer starch resistance, but avoid canned beans.
4. Try using nutrient-rich organic dry bulk beans from bins. To prepare them, soak overnight in purified water, drain and then use different purified water to cook.
