Storage in the refrigerator can endow different foods with both harmful and beneficial properties that help in the prevention of intestinal and stomach diseases. The Chinese portal Sina wrote about this on December 5.
Among the foods that produce dangerous carcinogens, namely nitrite, were seafood, green leafy vegetables, cold vegetable dishes and undercooked eggs.
At the same time, according to the author of the material, at low temperatures, the beneficial properties of boiled rice are significantly enhanced: overnight, a large amount of resistant starch appears in it, which helps to cope with many problems.
“Resistant starch is slowly digested and absorbed, so it won’t raise blood sugar too quickly. Thus, it has a good effect on its regulation. At the same time, such starch gives a feeling of satiety, which is important for diabetics, patients with hypertension and obese people, ”he explained.
The article also talks about another useful property of this substance – the prevention of intestinal cancer, since after the reaction of starch and intestinal bacteria, butyric acid is formed. It is claimed that it strengthens the intestinal immunity and, when a cancer process appears, directly affects malignant cells, suppressing their growth and contributing to their gradual death.
According to the author, you can get the maximum benefit from boiled rice by steaming a ready-made dish for about three to five minutes and immediately placing it in the refrigerator, without waiting for it to cool down at room temperature. It is noted that, according to research, the content of resistant starch in this product, chilled during the day, increases from 4 to 14%, so rice that has been stored for about 24 hours is best.
Earlier in the day, nutritionist Yevgenia Degtyannikova named foods that help increase the level of hemoglobin in the blood. According to her, these are red meat (beef, lamb) and offal, as well as lingonberries, sauerkraut, kiwi and broccoli.
The day before, nutritionist Julia Chekhonina agreed with the opinion of American scientists that the myth about the need to drink 2 liters of water a day has no scientific confirmation. The expert noted that the human body really needs 2 liters of liquid, but this is not at all about the water you drink.
On December 3, it was reported that eating persimmons could harm some people. This fruit was recommended to refuse diabetics and people with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
