As with other fiber, resistant starch resists digestion and breakdown into glucose, which is easily absorbed, and like other fibers, it reaches the large intestine. Unlike other fibers, resistant starch impacts metabolism through its fermentation in the large intestine. Clinical studies have found that Hi-Maize in foods helps to support a healthy weight, helps to maintain healthy blood sugar levels and promotes energy balance in healthy people. Most processed carbohydrates are high glycemic - they cause a fast and high rise in blood sugar and then, a quick fall in blood sugar levels. Racconto Essentials Glycemic Health pasta will help to buffer this change in blood sugar levels because of its whole grain and dietary fiber content. In addition, Hi-Maize resistant starch helps the body to use insulin better, which further helps to maintain healthy blood sugar levels as part of a high fiber diet. Resistant starch promotes energy balance because its fermentation produces short-chain fatty acids, which are used as energy hours after you've eaten. Finally, public health experts have long recognized that consuming a high fiber diet helps to maintain a healthy weight.
