What is soy dietary fiber?
Soybean dietary fiber mainly refers to the general term for those macromolecular sugars in soybeans that cannot be digested by human digestive enzymes, mainly including cellulose, pectin, xylan, mannose, etc. Although dietary fiber cannot provide any nutrition for the human body It has important physiological effects on the human body, mainly as follows:
1. Dietary fiber can delay the absorption of sugar, inhibit the rise of blood sugar, and reduce the secretion of insulin, which has a significant preventive effect on diabetes;
2. It can hinder the absorption of neutral fat and cholesterol, and significantly reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood. At the same time, dietary fiber can absorb sodium salts, so that the absorption in the intestinal tract is blocked, thereby reducing blood pressure;
3. Dietary fiber can promote intestinal peristalsis and prevent constipation and colon cancer;
4. The hydration of dietary fiber can enhance satiety, delay and reduce the absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, and can effectively prevent obesity.
Therefore, dietary fiber is recognized as the "seventh largest nutrient" by the medical and nutritional circles, and is an important food component for preventing "rich diseases" such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, and obesity.
