1, health benefits
Although fructooligosaccharide is also a kind of sugar, the function of fructooligosaccharide is very special because it can be used instead of sucrose and other edible sugars without causing obesity. Because fructooligosaccharides can not be digested in human esophagus and stomach like other sugars, it can only be absorbed and utilized by bacteria living in intestinal tract. This means that fructooligosaccharides not only provide sweetness, but also add nothing to human body.
Secondly, we know that fructooligosaccharides can only be absorbed and utilized by bacteria in the intestine. And we know that besides some harmful bacteria, there are many beneficial bacteria in the intestine. Then the function of fructooligosaccharides in the intestine is to help the growth and proliferation of these beneficial bacteria, so as to eliminate more harmful substances and enhance the body's resistance.
There is also a new function of fructooligosaccharides found through repeated research, that is, the consumption of fructooligosaccharides can indirectly promote the absorption of calcium ions and some minerals, which is of great significance to the growth of human bone lines and the enhancement of physical fitness.
2, regulating the enzyme bacteria in the human intestine
Because of its unique structure, fructooligosaccharides can not be decomposed and corroded by gastric acid and gastric juice after entering human stomach. Therefore, fructooligosaccharides can not be digested in human stomach, but can enter human large intestine completely and be selectively absorbed by bifidobacteria only in large intestine, thus promoting the rapid reproduction of bifidobacteria. The main function of Bifidobacterium is to promote the production of short-chain fatty acids, so as to inhibit the growth and reproduction of harmful bacteria and reduce the activity of harmful enzymes. In this way, a clean and healthy digestive environment can be created in human intestines, and at the same time, the accumulation and accumulation of waste in the corners of intestinal folds can be reduced. You know, too much food residue accumulation is also an important factor leading to cancer.
Regulating the function of enzyme bacteria in human intestine, fructooligosaccharides can also reduce cholesterol in human body, which is commonly called lowering blood lipid and preventing arteriosclerosis. Fructooligosaccharides can enhance human body's ability to synthesize elements, thus enhancing human immune system. Even for the liver, fructooligosaccharides have a significant protective effect, because it can help the human body to detoxify, so as to reduce the burden of the liver and alleviate the liver function.
3. What are carbohydrates?
This substance, also known as carbohydrate, is widely distributed, mainly composed of hydrocarbons and oxygen, and our common sugar is rich in carbohydrates. So, what exactly are carbohydrates? Because its elemental composition is similar to that of water, it is called carbohydrate, which provides energy, sugar and cellulose for human body.
