Impact of resistant starch on human health: A review

Author(s):

Arundhati Das and Jagannath Ghosh

Abstract:

A kind of carbohydrate known as resistant starch ferments in the large intestine rather than being digested in the small intestine, which enhances its health advantages. Numerous studies have demonstrated that Resistant Starch (RS) can be very helpful in both enhancing the digestive system and controlling blood sugar levels. It also aids in the control of the body's weight imbalance. The RS can provide help in cases of cardio-vascular disease. It occasionally functions as a prebiotic and healthy gut flora. This promotes the synthesis of short-chain fatty acids. It also plays a major part in preserving the dietary control of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. All things considered, the RS is an important tool for managing and preventing a variety of chronic diseases in the human body.
