Dietary fiber prevents intestinal diseases and weight loss

Dietary fiber has a strong water absorption function, and the water absorption capacity of water-soluble dietary fiber is significantly higher than that of water-insoluble dietary fiber. When dietary fiber food enters the human digestive tract, it can absorb water and expand in the stomach to form a high-viscosity sol or gel, resulting in a feeling of fullness and reducing food intake, and can increase the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, thereby inhibiting nutrients The diffusion rate in the intestines prevents food from being completely decomposed by digestive enzymes and continues to move to the lower intestine. As a result, the frequency, volume and speed of bowel movements are increased, and the pressure in the intestine is reduced, thus reducing intestinal diseases such as constipation and hemorrhoids. And so on. Therefore, if sufficient dietary fiber is taken in the diet, intestinal diseases can be effectively prevented. At the same time, dietary fiber can increase stomach satiety, reduce food intake, and reduce the absorption rate of fat in the small intestine.
