Dialysis: The process of removing waste products and excess fluid from the body. Dialysis is necessary when the kidneys are not able to adequately filter the blood.
A resistant starch is a starch that resists this enzymatic action and doesnât break down into sugar molecules. For example, raw cornstarch contains a fair amount of resistant starch. If you were to put some in your mouth and chew on it, it wouldnât start to taste sweet no matter how long you chewed it.
Vegetables are excellent sources of fiber, and some contain appreciable amounts of resistant starch. Peas have almost 2 grams of resistant starch per 100 grams of food. A 100-gram serving of lima beans or yams provides about 1.5 grams of resistant starch.
