Q & A
What is resistant starch, and why is it important for health?
-Resistant starch is a type of carbohydrate that resists digestion in the small intestine and reaches the large intestine, where it acts as dietary fiber. It is important because it feeds beneficial gut bacteria, promotes gut health, improves insulin sensitivity, and helps regulate blood sugar levels.
How does cooling rice affect the starch content?
-Cooling rice after cooking triggers a process called retrogradation, where some of the digestible starch crystallizes into resistant starch, making it less digestible and healthier. This process can increase the resistant starch content by 20-40%, depending on preparation.
Can reheating the rice after refrigeration reduce its resistant starch content?
-No, reheating the rice does not reduce the resistant starch content. In fact, reheating may sometimes even increase the resistant starch content slightly, making it still beneficial for health.
What are some of the health benefits of consuming resistant starch?
-Consuming resistant starch can improve gut health, support beneficial bacteria, enhance insulin sensitivity, help regulate blood sugar levels, reduce systemic inflammation, promote satiety, and aid in weight management.
How does resistant starch affect blood sugar and insulin response?
-Resistant starch slows the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream, leading to lower post-meal glucose and insulin levels. This makes it helpful for people with type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, or insulin resistance.
What is retrogradation, and how does it relate to resistant starch?
-Retrogradation is the process where starch molecules crystallize after being heated and then cooled. This transformation turns some of the digestible starch into resistant starch, making it harder to digest and more beneficial for gut health.
Can resistant starch help with weight management?
-Yes, resistant starch promotes feelings of fullness (satiety), which can reduce overeating and support weight management. Since it is not fully digested, it also provides fewer calories.
How does resistant starch support the immune system?
-Resistant starch is fermented by gut bacteria, producing short-chain fatty acids like butyrate, which helps regulate the immune system and reduce inflammation. This process is linked to lower risks of chronic diseases such as colorectal cancer.
Does the method of preparing rice affect the amount of resistant starch?
-Yes, the method of preparation affects the resistant starch content. Cooking rice, cooling it at room temperature, and then refrigerating it in an airtight container increases the resistant starch content. The longer cooking time also increases starch gelatinization, making the process more effective.
Can resistant starch be found in other foods besides rice?
-Yes, resistant starch can be found in other foods like potatoes, pasta, and bread when they are cooked and then cooled. For example, potato salad or cold pasta salads have higher resistant starch content. Freezing bread also increases its resistant starch.
Outlines
🍚 The Health Benefits of Chilled Rice
This paragraph introduces the concept of enhancing the health benefits of rice by refrigerating it for 24 hours. The process of cooling rice leads to the formation of resistant starch, a type of dietary fiber that is not easily digested in the small intestine but benefits gut health in the large intestine by feeding probiotics. The video explains that resistant starch is created when cooked rice cools down, a process known as retrogradation, which turns some of the digestible starch back into resistant starch. Studies have shown that chilling cooked rice can increase resistant starch content by 20-40%. The resistant starch in rice can improve gut health, blood sugar control, satiety, and the immune system. The video also mentions that reheating the rice does not eliminate the resistant starch, and other starches like potatoes and pasta can also benefit from this process.
🌡️ How to Prepare 24-Hour Rice
The second paragraph provides instructions on how to prepare 24-hour rice to maximize the benefits of resistant starch. After cooking the rice using the preferred method, it should be cooled for about 30 minutes at room temperature before being refrigerated in an airtight container. The video emphasizes that the resistant starch will still be present whether the rice is reheated or eaten cold. It also highlights that rice is particularly effective at increasing resistant starch compared to other starches. The video encourages viewers to incorporate 24-hour rice into their diet, especially for those who are diabetic, pre-diabetic, or insulin resistant, as it can aid in weight management and improve overall health. The key takeaway is that the resistant starch in rice can provide numerous health benefits, and the process of chilling rice is a simple way to enhance these benefits.

Highlights
Refrigerating cooked rice significantly enhances its health benefits by increasing resistant starch.
Resistant starch improves gut health, blood sugar control, satiety, and boosts the immune system.
Starch is made up of long chains of glucose molecules and exists in two forms: amylose (linear) and amylopectin (branched).
Brown rice contains more resistant starch due to its higher amylose content compared to white rice.
Resistant starch resists digestion in the small intestine and travels to the large intestine, where it feeds beneficial gut bacteria.
Cooking rice makes starch more digestible, but cooling it leads to retrogradation, which converts some of the digestible starch back into resistant starch.
Studies show that chilling cooked rice can increase its resistant starch content by up to 30-40%.
Reheating cooled rice does not eliminate resistant starch and may even increase it further.
Resistant starch slows glucose absorption, improves insulin sensitivity, and lowers the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Resistant starch acts as a prebiotic, promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut and producing short-chain fatty acids like butyrate.
Butyrate helps regulate the immune system, reduce inflammation, and lower the risk of colorectal cancer.
Consuming resistant starch enhances satiety and may aid in weight management.
Other starchy foods like potatoes, pasta, and bread also increase in resistant starch content when cooled.
Freezing bread is recommended to preserve resistant starch benefits for longer.
To prepare 24-hour rice, cook rice, cool it at room temperature for 30 minutes, and refrigerate it to maximize resistant starch content.

today we're going to discover the
fascinating dietary hack of the 24-hour
rice by refrigerating rice you will
definitely significantly enhance many
health benefits so let's uncover the
science behind this simple kitchen trick
this video will dive into the concept of
resistant starch how it benefits our
health how this causes this
transformation how it occurs and when we
cool our rice that's where the miracle
start but I want you to know this is
going to help your gut health your blood
sugar control your satiety your immune
system your overall well-being to
understand resistance starch we first
need to know about starch itself starch
is a carbohydrate made of long chains of
glucose molecules this is primary
storage form of energy imp plants there
are two main types of starch amalo Amal
optin amalo is lineer while amalon is
Branched these ratios of these two types
will defer between white rice and brown
rice brown rice contains more resistant
starch due to its higher amalo content
so what is resistant starch it's
classified as dietary fiber because it
resists digestion particularly in our
small intestine we don't have the
enzymes to digest resistant starch so it
makes its way to the large intestine it
creates short chain fatty acids as it
feeds the the probiotics a good bacteria
which starts up the whole beautiful
thing of good health so when you cook
rice the heat causes the starch granules
to gelatinize this process makes them
more digestible turning them into a
source of quick energy but as the cooked
rice cools
down a unique transformation occurs the
heat causes some of the starch molecules
to crystallize again a process known as
retrogradation which transforms some of
the digestible starch back into
resistant starch in Studies have shown
that chilling cooked rice increases
resistance starch by up to 30 40% in
certain situations averagely maybe 20%
25% depending upon how was prepared but
the great news is that you can heat it
again it doesn't eliminate the
resistance starch and in fact sometimes
when you reheat it you get more
resistance starch so let's feel free to
reheat and enjoy your 24-hour rice with
no worry so during this retrogradation
process the structure of the starch
changes it becomes more resistant to
enzymatic breakdown this means that when
we eat it it passes through our small
intestine we don't have the enzymes to
digest resistant starch it makes its way
to the large intestine feeds the
probiotics and great things happen it
slows down your blood sugar levels uh it
slows glucose into the cells it gives
you much more satiety as well as much
more things but I first want to talk
about consuming resistance starts how it
improves improves insulin sensitivity
Studies have shown that meals high and
resistant starch lead to lower post
prandle or after meal glucose and
Insulin responses it lowers the risk of
type 2 diabetes so you can be a diabetic
a pre-diabetic insulin resistant and
eating rice this way can be a great
asset for you resistant starch as we
said acts as a Prebiotic it provides
food for the beneficial gut bacteria
these bacteria ferment resist and starch
to produce short chain fatty acids like
butyrate and butyrate is particularly
important as it helps regulate our
immune system it reduces inflammation
throughout our entire body it's been
shown to lower the risk of color rectal
cancer and in addition to promoting good
health The increased production of
butyrate supports healthy immune systems
it it reduces systemic inflammation
which is linked to numerous chronic
diseases and moreover eating food rich
and resistant starch also promotes the
feeling of fullness gives you more
satiety you don't want to
overeat this can actually Aid in weight
management if you're trying to lose
weight this can definitely help you but
what's interesting is that potatoes is a
is a starch but when we cook potatoes
and cool them L and potato salad the
resistance starch increases as well and
similar to rice pasta becomes a higher
resistant starch when we start to cool
it as you can use it in your your cold
pasta salads as well and when your bread
same thing cooling bread will increase
resistance starch although freezing it
is more recommended it preserves more of
the benefits much longer so if you have
leftover bread sitting around the house
it's a great idea instead of letting it
sit on the counter put it in the freezer
so let's break it down how to prepare
your 24-hour rice to maximize these
benefits you're going to cook your rice
you're going to use your preferred
cooking method and rice type remember
the longer cooking time s will increase
the gelatinization of the starch you're
going to cool it down for about 30
minutes at room temperature then you
want to go ahead and refrigerate it you
want to store it in something that's
airtight and that's where all the magic
starts to happen and after you chill it
you can reheat it again enjoy it cold
the meals however you like but the
resistant starch is still there it's
ready to benefit your health I want you
to realize that there are many many
studies with resistant starch with rice
with pastas with
breads with other starches the bottom
line is the rice seems to do the best
when it increase resistance starch you
can eat that resistance starch
particularly with Meats your healthy
fats put it in your salads use that Rice
wherever you like and you will really
see big changes not only will help you
give you that satiety remember it's
feeding your
probiotics it's it's building your
immune system it's lowering your blood
sugar levels it's taking stress off the
pancreas it's doing wonderful things for
you so enjoy your rice but remember
24hour rice try it I challenge you I
hope this video serves you well
please use your rice come back to the
comments let me know how well you've
done and remember if you're a diabetic
pre-diabetic or insulin
resistant this can be a great thing for
you remember moderation is the key
because we are getting a certain
percentage of this rice that turns
resistant not all of it does but
remember we don't have the the the
enzymes in our small intestine to digest
that resistant starch that means we
don't get calories so if you're eating
something this big you know maybe a
third of it you're going to get no
calories from it which is a beautiful
thing as well and anyways make it a
great day I'm Dr Alan Mandel
