What role does dietary fiber play in losing weight?
Dietary fiber itself can't lose weight, but it can promote the good digestion and excretion of solid waste. Appropriate cellulose supplementation can increase and soften the food in the intestine, promote intestinal peristalsis, thus speeding up defecation, preventing constipation and reducing the risk of intestinal cancer. Moreover, cellulose can also regulate blood sugar and help prevent diabetes. It can also reduce the absorption of fat during digestion and lower cholesterol levels. Since it can promote defecation and eliminate waste, the small belly will naturally flatten out, so this is to achieve the purpose of losing weight from the side.

In daily life, you should consume 20~30 grams every day, and you can often eat miscellaneous grains such as corn, millet, barley, wheat bran (rice bran) and wheat flour (the material of black bread); In addition, there are many dietary fibers in root vegetables and seaweed, such as burdock, carrot, mung bean, red bean, pea, potato and Undaria pinnatifida. We can eat potatoes or corn for three days a week, which is very good for our health.
