Resistant starch is a kind of dietary fiber, which is rich in anti-digestion functional components (that is, it is difficult to be digested and absorbed by human body). It cannot be absorbed in human small intestine and fermented in large intestine. Short-chain fatty acids can be absorbed into the blood through the rectal wall, continue to provide energy for the body, be absorbed in a slow and complete way, and increase satiety. Moreover, the granules of this starch are wrapped by some ingredients in food, which affects the direct contact of digestive enzymes and slows down digestion, thus delaying the transformation and absorption of glucose.

Having said that, everyone must have a preliminary understanding of resistant starch.

Magic resistant starch

Resistant starch has many characteristics, such as stabilizing blood sugar, reducing blood lipid, increasing mineral absorption, relaxing bowels, controlling weight, losing weight and maintaining intestinal health.

Statistical results of domestic and foreign literature

The resistant starch content in ordinary rice is very low, the highest is only 2. 1%, the resistant starch content in hot rice is generally lower than 1%, and the resistant starch content in cold rice is only 1.0%~2.4%.

The resistant starch of high-quality rice in the market is low, generally less than 0.5%.

The content of resistant starch in natural wheat flour is extremely low, which is 0.3%~ 1.0% in whole wheat and white bread, and 0.54%~ 1.03% in wheat cake.

Generally, bread is less than 0.2% and noodles are less than 0.5%.

In the food we eat every day, it is obvious that the content of resistant starch in rice and flour is very low and almost negligible. During weight loss, you may eat a bowl of rice for half an hour and feel hungry; For rice with high starch resistance, it takes you two hours to completely digest the same amount of rice, and you won't feel very hungry in the middle. Then, will we eat less and consume less energy than before?

This is why eating foods with high resistant starch content can reduce weight. It not only helps to lose weight, but also helps to increase minerals in the body, relieve constipation and reduce blood fat.
