Long-term use does lead to dependence. Therefore, it is best not to take such powders or tablets, or to reduce the dosage. It is best to take dietary fiber through diet. Fruits and vegetables rich in fiber include sweet potatoes, leafy vegetables and fruit skins.
1, promoting weight loss. Cellulose has a small specific gravity and a large volume. It takes a long time to fill the stomach cavity after a meal, which prolongs the emptying time of the stomach, makes people feel full easily and reduces the calorie intake. At the same time, dietary fiber reduces the proportion of calories in food intake; Cellulose will attract the fat in the intestine and excrete it, which will help reduce the accumulation of fat, and at the same time, the three can achieve the purpose of losing weight.
2. Absorb toxins. In the process of food digestion and decomposition, a large number of toxins will inevitably be produced. These harmful substances will stimulate the mucosal epithelium in the intestinal cavity for a long time, causing mucosal inflammation. Absorbed into the blood, it can increase the detoxification burden of the liver. Cellulose forms a dense network when it meets water in the gastrointestinal tract, and absorbs organic matter, inorganic matter and water, which plays an important role in maintaining the normal flora structure of the gastrointestinal tract. At the same time, the toxins in intestinal contents will be absorbed by cellulose, and the chances of intestinal mucosa contacting with poisons will be reduced, and the absorbed blood volume will also be reduced.
3. Protect the skin. When the blood contains toxic substances, the skin becomes a place where it abandons waste. Facial acne is formed because there are too many acidic substances and saturated fat in the blood. The skin color of people who are often constipated is yellow, which is also because the feces stay in the intestine for too long, and toxic substances are absorbed through the intestinal wall, which makes the blood contaminated with toxins. People who smoke too much look like ashes, which is also caused by the above reasons. Dietary fiber can stimulate intestinal peristalsis, make waste excreted in time, and reduce the toxic effect of toxins on intestinal wall, thus protecting the skin.
4. Reduce blood lipids. Some components in dietary fiber can be combined with cholesterol if colloid can, and lignin can be combined with cholic acid, so that it can be directly discharged from feces, thus consuming cholesterol in the body to supplement cholesterol consumed in bile, thereby reducing blood lipid. Dietary fiber absorbs water in the intestine to dilute the intestinal contents, reduce the concentration of bile and cholesterol, and promote the growth and reproduction of bacteria normally resident in the intestine; These normal bacteria can also convert cholesterol into feces during reproduction, which is helpful to reduce the occurrence of coronary heart disease.
5. control blood sugar. Some people think that one of the reasons for diabetes is that there is too little cellulose in food. Foods containing a lot of dietary fiber provide little energy to the human body. Pectin in fiber can prolong the residence time of food in intestine, reduce the absorption rate of glucose, and prevent the blood sugar from rising sharply after meals, which is beneficial to the improvement of diabetes. At the same time, high fiber food can reduce insulin secretion in physiological range and reduce food intake; In addition, high-fiber food can reduce the demand of diabetic patients for insulin or general oral hypoglycemic drugs, while still effectively controlling blood sugar concentration. Can be used for preventing and treating diabetes.
6. Protect your mouth. Modern people eat more and more delicate and soft food, so the activities of using oral muscles and teeth are correspondingly reduced. Increasing the cellulose in the diet can increase the chances of chewing with oral muscles and teeth, wash away the dirt in the teeth and exercise the gums. If you persist for a long time, your mouth will be healthy and your function will be improved.
