Johns Hopkins University’s research suggests that reheating cooked carbohydrates like rice, bread, and pasta after cooling can prevent blood sugar spikes and improve gut health. This process creates 'resistant starch,' which doesn't break down into glucose in the small intestine and serves as a prebiotic, feeding beneficial gut bacteria. It also aids in increasing fullness, reducing constipation, and decreasing the risk of colon cancer. For best results, cool cooked carbs overnight in the fridge before reheating. These methods can also apply to whole grains and legumes, further enhancing their health benefits.
