In episode 3 of Series 1, Charles chats with Dr. Elisa de Arcangelis from Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma in Italy.
They dive into the fascinating research on how different types of starches can be used to create healthier carbohydrate foods that benefit our gut microbes and overall nutrition.
How Does This Research Benefit Your Health and Gut Microbiome:
Dr. Elisa de Arcangelis’ research explores innovative ways to make everyday carbohydrate foods, like bread and pasta, healthier for you. By using different types of starches, these foods can be designed to support the good bacteria in your gut, which play a crucial role in digestion and overall health.
A balanced gut microbiome can improve your immune system, enhance nutrient absorption, and even boost your mood. This means that the foods you love could not only be delicious but also help you feel better and stay healthier in the long run.
