Bread is refined starch, after entering the digestive tract, it will be quickly broken down into glucose and other energy by enzymes in the body, causing blood sugar levels to rise rapidly.
We can freeze banh mi first and then defrost it to help reduce the glycemic index because resistant starch is created in the banh mi after freezing. Then, grill the frozen banh mi and eat it, the glycemic index can be reduced by nearly 40%.
Not only banh mi but also white rice, sweet potatoes and frozen potatoes contain resistant starch. Resistant starch is difficult to absorb in the digestive tract, makes people feel fuller, can improve insulin sensitivity and is beneficial to health, control blood sugar. At the same time, reduce calorie absorption, making the weight loss process go smoothly.
The reason why banh mi can cause obesity is because of refined starch, so even if it is frozen, if you eat too much, it will cause weight gain. Resistant starch is not easy to digest, so people who are prone to diarrhea and bloating should not eat too much.
