Germany is only in 14th place, according to Statista.de.
And this despite the fact that Germans
eat an
average of 10.3 kilograms (2020 forecast) of pasta a year
.
Almost 23 percent of Germans said they had pasta in their
diet
several times a month in 2019
, according to Statista.de.
Science and food: the warm-up effect has been known for some time
You have to be careful with many foods if you want to reheat them.
Many of them only have a very short shelf life in the refrigerator *.
Pasta is not only one of the longest lasting (cooked) side dishes.
According to fitforfun.de, this will make you even healthier.
According to the fitness magazine, science has long known that cooling down often has a positive effect on
food
.
How exactly this affects the
diet
was not previously known.
A possible effect on
weight loss
was also only a speculation so far.

Eating from yesterday: pasta is so easy to fit into a healthy diet
The
BBC now tested
how the
food
and its nutritional values actually change.
They tested the effects on pasta on the TV show 'Trust Me, I'ma Doctor'.
For this purpose, the people were served the same pasta dishes as meals on different days.
Trust Me, I'm a Docotor
Producer: BBC
Start: 2013. In the 1990s there was already a series with a similar name.
Special feature: the first season reached over 3 million viewers.
Up until then, that was the highest ratings for a non-technical program on this channel.
The only difference was in the state of preparation.
Sometimes the noodles were already cold.
Sometimes these were freshly cooked or reheated.
In order to be able to measure the effect, blood sugar was measured on the test subjects before and after a meal.
The result is astonishing: Reheated pasta causes the slightest increase in blood sugar
Even experienced nutritionists were amazed by the result, according to fitforfun.de.
The starch in the pasta usually increases blood sugar levels
significantly
after
eating
on.
In the case of pasta that has already cooled down, a much lower sugar high has set in.
If the pasta was also reheated, i.e. warmed up, this effect was further intensified.
Why is eating healthier?
- Resistant starch is the keyword
There is a lot of starch in foods like pasta.
When the
food
cools down, the structure of the starch changes.
This form of starch is then called resistant starch.
This is because the new form of starch cannot be broken down by the body's own enzymes.
This creates more
fiber
.
These ensure a longer feeling of satiety.
According to fitforfun.de, they should also
prevent
diabetes
and
colon cancer
.
The
resistant starch is also said to have a positive effect on
the
cholesterol level
.
The
weight loss
is also supported by the modified starch.
Because fewer calories are absorbed from the food.
Resistant starch is therefore a true heroine of
nutrition
