"Transform Your White Bread into a Healthier Option with This Simple Hack"

Dr. Karan Raj, a UK National Health Service surgeon, shared a TikTok video revealing a hack to make white bread healthier by freezing, thawing, and toasting it, which lowers its Glycemic Index (GI) and causes a more gradual rise in blood sugar levels. This process forms resistant starch, beneficial for gut health. Viewers were intrigued by the bread hack and wondered if the same method could be applied to other foods. The New York Times also supports the idea, stating that letting cooked pasta or rice cool in the refrigerator overnight transforms natural starches into resistant starches, linked to lower blood sugar and better gut health.
