Resistant Starch Diet

I received information about how to ameliorate adult disease at a dentist where I go to on a regular basis. It carried some articles but didn’t one about teeth at all.

Today, among them, I would like to introduce “Resistant starch” which is the term I have not heard of before.

“Resistant starch” cannot be digested easily. For example, cold rice is resistant starch. Resistant starch acts like alimentary fiber, is not digested in the stomach and the intestine, goes straight to the large intestine, reduce blood cholesterol and blood sugar elevation, improve fat metabolism and intestinal environment. It produces power which lacks in hot rice.

Considering nutritional value, rice balls of brown rice are the best, and sushi or cold soba noodles are also good.
That means, a specialty of Fukui Prefecture “Echizen Oroshi Soba” (cold buckwheat noodles with grated radish) must be beneficial to health. As for other carbohydrate food, it seems better if you eat more cold ones, such as cold udon(wheat noodles), cold thin wheat noodles, cold ramen and spaghetti.

Speaking of cold rice, you have to chow more as it is firmer than hot rice, so I think that you may be able to gain a feeling of fullness more easily.
Cold rice diet is worth trying, isn’t it? (H.S)
