Dietary fiber refers to cellulose and hemicellulose from plant foods, which are not broken down by enzymes in the human digestive tract. But bacteria in the gut can use this fiber to ferment it, greatly increasing the bulk of the stool.

Dietary fiber can be divided into two categories, namely water-soluble fiber (such as pectin, apple fiber and oat fiber, etc.) and water-insoluble fiber (such as soy fiber, hemicellulose, barley fiber, etc.).

Water-soluble fiber swells or turns into a transparent gel-like substance when exposed to water, which is more easily fermented and utilized by intestinal bacteria in the intestines. The main sources of dietary fiber are vegetables, cereals and fruits. Therefore, those who eat too refined foods or those who often eat high-fat and high-protein foods as their main food often cause related diseases due to insufficient dietary fiber intake. If you mix some miscellaneous grains with your staple food and regularly eat fresh vegetables and fruits, you can ensure that Have adequate dietary fiber intake. People who regularly eat foods rich in dietary fiber can greatly reduce the incidence of colon and rectal cancer. More importantly, high-fiber foods can also help prevent the occurrence of high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, diabetes and breast cancer.
