Researchers recognize: Resistant starch helps you lose weight. Res resistant starch in pasta reheated from the previous day appears to help with weight loss.
The nutrient is said to boost metabolism, balance blood sugar and have a positive effect on the intestinal microbiome. If starchy foods cool down after cooking and are reheated the next day, the proportion of starch also increases. So the food becomes even healthier. While ordinary starch is digested in the small intestine, resistant starch enters the large intestine undigested. This not only benefits the intestinal flora, but also digestion.
