He explained that almost all foods are carbohydrate such as rice, bread, pasta, potatoes, potatoes, nuts, when cooked, cooled, or frozen, then reheated contains less calories. The process of cooling the diet can convert the digestable starch to a resistance star. This pattern cannot be broken in the body, but acts as a prebiotic that feeds the gut flora, so that digestion get better. This chemical process is called backregradation. According to research published in Nutrition and Diabetes, colded rice can reduce blood glucose after eating in people with type 1 diabetes.

In addition, the regent of resistance can increase the movement of the intestines and the amount of feces, which in turn can reduce the risk of colon cancer. "Pati in cold and reheated carbohydrate foods is becoming more difficult to digest by the refined intestines and move to the large intestines. There, gut bacteria fermented them into artificial or prebiotic fibers, which feed bacteria both such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus," said Dr. Rangarajan. In addition to reducing blood sugar spikes, the resistance star also increases a sense of saturation, helps control the portion, and decreases weight. However, it is important to reheat the food carefully. If not properly heated, the bacterial spora of Bacculus cereus in rice can produce toxins that cause congenital diseases such as diarrhea and vomiting, also known as fried rice syndrome. Although this condition is not always fatal, it can be dangerous, especially for people with weak immune systems. To prevent such problems, here is a safe way of following this trick:1.

Stove rice in a closed container and put it into a refrigerator in a fast time.4. Consumption of rice within 3-4 days of cooking.
