Algae gum is used in most jellies and is a natural food additive. In nutrition, it is called soluble dietary fiber. As we know, fruits, vegetables and coarse grains all contain certain dietary fiber, and their main nutritional function to human body is to regulate intestinal function, especially to moisten the intestines and relax the bowels. Jelly has the same function as them. Eating more can increase intestinal wetness and improve constipation.

Precautions for eating jelly:
First of all, children and the elderly should be careful to eat jelly.
Because the self-protection mechanism of children's bodies is not fully developed, the physical function of the elderly has declined, so children under three years old or the elderly will have hidden dangers of entering the trachea or bronchus when taking jelly.
It is suggested that children under the age of three must eat under the guidance of their guardians. School-age children and the elderly eat with small spoons and chew slowly. In addition, jelly can give people a sense of fullness, and children and teenagers who eat too much at a time may affect their normal diet, so they should eat it in moderation.
Second, jelly can't replace fruit.
Jelly made of fruit juice and pulp retains most of the nutrients in raw materials, such as minerals, soluble dietary fiber and vitamins, but it will also cause certain losses in production and processing. Therefore, don't think that eating jelly can replace fruit.
