🌸 SUNDAY FUNDAY : Pregnancy Fun Fact 🌸
Do you know why Japanese and Chinese cultures recommend eating rice from the day before? 🍚✨
When rice (or any starch) is cooked, cooled, and reheated, it undergoes a fascinating transformation:
✅ The starch molecules rearrange into resistant starch.
✅ This type of starch digests slowly in the intestines.
✅ It leads to lower sugar spikes in the blood.
✅ Acts like natural prebiotic fiber, feeding good gut bacteria.
✅ Supports a healthy gut microbiome → which also strengthens the gut–brain axis 💡.
For pregnant women, this means steadier energy, smoother digestion, and better overall health for you and your baby. 🌷
