Karachi: (RightNow) Stale bread is often less favored compared to fresh bread, but experts say it offers several health benefits. Properly storing overnight bread increases its resistant starch content.

Research indicates that higher levels of resistant starch can help better control blood sugar. It lowers the glycemic index, which is beneficial for maintaining balanced blood sugar levels.

Recent studies reveal that resistant starch supports the growth of beneficial bacteria in the digestive system. Whole wheat bread’s fiber helps prevent constipation.

Due to the presence of fiber and resistant starch, stale bread can keep you feeling full for longer. Consuming it with yogurt, eggs, or vegetables for breakfast is beneficial.

It is important to note that the benefits of stale bread depend on how it is made and stored. Experts recommend consuming it in moderation.
