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.
Starch-heavy foods include legumes; starchy vegetables, such as potatoes; and whole grains, including whole grain products such as breads and cereals. These foods are also rich in a range of essential vitamins and minerals, which are important for overall health. Foods high in resistant starch include raw potatoes, green bananas and plantains.
