Have you heard of Resistant Starch?
If so,?
REPLY to this email?and let me know what you eat!!
I want to piggyback off?
my post last week?regarding?
gut health. I truly believe that I could post weekly about?
taking care of the gut?because it is that important.
This could be a?
new item to add?to your cooking/feasting arsenal!!
What is resistant starch?
Resistant Starch are resistant to digestion in the small intestine. Therefore, they?
do not get absorbed?in the small intestine, but then get?
fermented?by the gut bacteria in the large intestine. 1
There are
?four different types of resistant starch?and all types of RS are beneficial for health, but they have different effects on your body. 2
Where do we get RS from?
The
?richest food sources?are
- raw potatoes,
- beans
- green bananas,
- plantains,
- Jerusalem artichokes
- cooked-and-cooled potatoes, cooked-and-cooled-rice, parboiled rice, and cooked-and-cooled legumes.
Besides?consuming starchy fruits, vegetables, and foods an easy way to include natural resistant starch in your diet is to?
add resistant starch to your foods. Two popular items are:
- Raw potato starch?has by far the highest content of resistant starch and the lowest glycemic index.
- Hi-maize?has a uniquely high amount of resistant starch and dietary fiber.
Why add Resistant Starches to your diet? (some reasons)
- Lowers the blood glucose response to food 3
- Reduces fasting blood sugar 4
- Improves insulin sensitivity 5
- Feeds ?good? bacteria 6
- Could reduce appetite 7
Who should be careful with Resistant Starches?
- People with?Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth?(SIBO)-related digestive illnesses such as?GERD, IBS, and Celiac disease, to name a few, would be best served by consuming?lower levels?of resistant starch because it behaves much like fermentable fiber.
Keep in mind the effects of resistant starch?
depend on the composition of gut microbiota, which varies among individuals.
Also, consuming
?too many?non-digestible carbohydrates like resistant starch may cause stomach discomfort, gas, and diarrhea.
My advice?would be to?
start slow with resistant starch?and see how the body reacts/feels after usage.
