Hello! This is Professor Yan's Health Research Institute. There is a saying in weight loss: "To lose weight, eat dietary fiber." Why is it said like this? Can dietary fiber help you lose weight?

Nutritionist Professor Yan will introduce to you the advantages of dietary fiber:

1. Dietary fiber itself has low calories, and even reaches zero calories, and dietary fiber cannot be digested and absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. It can also promote gastrointestinal motility and improve constipation.

2. When eating foods rich in dietary fiber, it will take away part of the bile when passing through the gastrointestinal tract, thereby lowering cholesterol and preventing the occurrence of coronary heart disease.

3. Dietary fiber can slow down the body's absorption of starch staple foods in meals, thereby lowering the blood sugar index, slowing down the synthesis of fat, and thus controlling weight.

The above is Professor Yan nutritionist’s introduction to the advantages of dietary fiber that is beneficial to weight loss. Although dietary fiber is good for weight loss, you should not eat too much, and it should not exceed 30g per day.

Nowadays, our diet is becoming more and more refined, and it is necessary to supplement some dietary fiber every day. Below, nutritionist Professor Yan lists some common ingredients in daily life for everyone. How much dietary fiber do they contain?

Generally speaking, vegetables and fruits contain more dietary fiber. If you want to supplement dietary fiber, you can get it from vegetables and fruits.

You can also try Professor Yan’s multi-flavored simple meals, which are also rich in dietary fiber, carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and minerals and are low in calories. Each bag of simple meals has 100 calories. It is about 1,000 calories and is eaten in conjunction with the meat and vegetables of each meal. It can not only ensure the body's overall caloric intake, but also maintain a balanced nutrition and prevent starvation.

Although dietary fiber is good, you should not eat too much as it may cause bloating. Especially for people who rarely eat fruits and vegetables, sudden intake of a lot of dietary fiber may cause discomfort, so Supplementing dietary fiber should be done in a cyclical and gradual manner.

In addition, when eating dietary fiber, you can supplement vitamin B1, which can promote gastrointestinal motility and help defecation. Common foods containing vitamin B1 include: whole grains, lean meats, eggs, soybeans and other foods.

Although fat may cause obesity and some health diseases, fat is also one of the essential nutrients for the human body, so fat should also be consumed in moderation, especially high-quality fat, such as: olive oil, Avocados, deep-sea fish, nuts, etc.

If you want a healthy body, a balanced diet is very important. The food you eat should be diverse. On average, you should eat 12 kinds of food every day and at least 25 kinds of food a week, so as to have a balanced diet.
