With the improvement of living standards, people's dietary structure is increasingly "westernized"-the more meat they eat, the less food and vegetables they eat, and the less dietary fiber they consume, and many diseases related to lifestyle have emerged, such as obesity, hyperlipidemia and diabetes. At this time, it was discovered that crude fiber can play a certain preventive and therapeutic role in these diseases. Eating more crude fiber food has four advantages:

1, improve gastrointestinal function, prevent constipation and prevent intestinal cancer;

2. Improve the reaction of blood sugar production, reduce the postprandial blood sugar content, and help treat diabetes;

3. Reduce the cholesterol content in plasma, and prevent and treat hyperlipidemia and cardiovascular diseases;

4. Control weight and reduce the occurrence of obesity.

Extended data:

The main consumers of crude fiber food should be adults and the elderly, who suffer from obesity, hyperlipidemia and diabetes due to work and life stress and physiological reasons. But when eating, we should also pay attention to that the recommended intake of crude fiber in nutrition is 20~35 grams per person per day. Eating more will reduce the utilization rate of other nutrients.

In addition, crude fiber can increase the volume of feces, reduce the time for food residues in the intestine to stay in the human body, and accelerate the frequency of defecation. Therefore, children and people with poor gastrointestinal function and frequent diarrhea had better not eat more.
