Wheat bran contains a variety of active substances, including 50% dietary fiber. Wheat bran dietary fiber is mainly composed of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. In 1980, the international cereal chemistry Association (ICC) pointed out at the conference that "among the dietary fibers that may be obtained in general, wheat bran is the thickest, effective and suitable for human body". Wheat dietary fiber has a long application history and high safety in the West. It is recognized as a natural food fiber.
According to its solubility in hot water, dietary fiber can be roughly divided into soluble dietary fiber and insoluble dietary fiber. The ratio of insoluble dietary fiber to soluble dietary fiber in wheat is about 9:1. Through this patented technology, the ratio of insoluble dietary fiber to soluble dietary fiber reaches 8:2. Insoluble dietary fiber is the part of dietary fiber that is not digested by human digestive tract enzymes and insoluble in hot water. It is mainly the components of cell wall, including cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, chitosan and plant wax.
1. Hypolipidemia
The first is to reduce and delay the absorption of fatty nutrients, and the second is to increase the consumption of cholesterol. The process of human digestion and absorption requires the participation of bile acids, and the source of bile acids is cholesterol. After bile is discharged into the duodenum from the gallbladder to participate in digestion, it is usually reabsorbed back to the liver, re-enter the gallbladder through circulation and discharged into the digestive tract. This process is called enterohepatic circulation. Dietary fiber can effectively absorb bile acids, bring them into the lower digestive tract and finally excrete them out of the body. When the human body needs new bile acids, it will use cholesterol to reduce the concentration of cholesterol in the blood, and then decompose body fat to supplement cholesterol in the blood. If this process continues, the metabolism of cholesterol will enter a virtuous cycle. High density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) was increased and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) was effectively reduced.
2. Hypoglycemic
The human body needs energy, and excess energy is not conducive to health, and the process of energy supply, especially through carbohydrates, is inseparable from insulin. The goal we need to achieve is to ensure that the energy supply is maintained when the blood glucose level is reasonable. Therefore, our food structure must be conducive to controlling blood glucose level and ensuring continuous energy supply. The method is to control the total amount of energy, control the rate of blood glucose production, and make it slowly enter the blood for continuous energy supply. The main mechanism of reducing blood glucose is to reduce the blood glucose generation index and avoid the blood glucose peak. In addition, by limiting the total amount of sugar, there will be neither too high blood glucose peak nor sugar shortage in the body. Glycemic index is how much blood sugar rises in a certain period of time after we eat a certain food. A reasonable diet should not be food with too high glycemic index, but sugar can slowly enter our blood, reduce the workload of our pancreas and maintain a relatively low insulin level in our body. Don't have too much energy, but ensure continuous energy supply. Wheat dietary fiber provides almost perfect function of reducing glycemic index. It can inhibit amylase activity, reduce food glycemic index, reduce total energy, prolong energy supply time and avoid unreasonable blood glucose peak. At the same time, it reduces insulin resistance and improves receptor sensitivity.
3. Maintain cell and tissue health
On the premise of ensuring adequate insulin and nutrition, energy is limited. When the insulin level in the body is relatively low, the cell tissue is robust and the metabolic system operates normally. At the same time, probiotics grow vigorously, the body immunity is strong and it is not easy to get sick. Incidentally, when you have to use antibiotics, don't forget to eat high-quality dietary fiber, which helps the growth of probiotics, thus partially offsetting the killing of antibiotics on probiotics.
4. Defecate
Dietary fiber can be partially or completely degraded in the lower gastrointestinal tract to produce short chain fatty acids, provide nutrients for probiotics and promote the beneficial balance of intestinal flora. The comprehensive effect of this process is to provide energy, promote intestinal peristalsis, eliminate constipation, increase the amount of feces, facilitate detoxification and improve immunity. A smooth and weighty stool is a healthy achievement!
5. Lose weight
The principle of weight loss is the comprehensive mechanism of reducing blood lipid, reducing blood sugar, increasing satiety and controlling energy intake.
6. Cancer prevention
There are reliable studies and conclusive evidence, including colon cancer and breast cancer. Adequate dietary fiber intake has a multiplier effect on cancer prevention.
7. Prevention of early menstruation in adolescent girls
This is a major discovery of collaborative research by many universities and research institutions in the world. For adolescent girls, eating sufficient dietary fiber is conducive to prevent the side effects of modern diet and lifestyle and prevent premature menstruation. Women's life is closely related to the time of estrogen exposure and the level of estrogen and the risk of breast cancer. Preventing premature menstruation is a wise move to protect women's future health. In addition, it is of great significance for menopause and life after menopause to adhere to the intake of sufficient dietary fiber, discharge excess estrogen, narrow the gap of estrogen before and after menopause, and reduce the impact of physiological changes in the withdrawal process of estrogen. Studies show that the highest risk of breast cancer in women with the highest intake of dietary fiber is 40% lower than that of the lowest intake of 20%, and the risk is further reduced by combining low fat diet with.
8. Protect brain health
This is the latest discovery in the study of the efficacy of dietary fiber abroad. Eating enough dietary fiber can make the brain "reduce fatigue, reduce emotional depression and improve cognitive ability". To put it simply, keep a clear mind, think quickly and protect brain health. Relying on coffee, smoking and tea to refresh is far less healthy and effective than eating more dietary fiber. Our long-term research and practice also fully proves this.
9. It is conducive to the in vivo synthesis of biotin and B vitamins
Biotin plays a very important role in human metabolism. It is an essential component of several important enzymes and one of the limited vitamins that human beings can synthesize in vivo. The fermentation process of dietary fiber in large intestine is conducive to the synthesis of biotin, which is conducive to the production of a variety of enzymes? Conducive to protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism.
10. Anti inflammation
Dietary fiber can promote the growth of probiotics, improve the body's immunity, inhibit and recover the widespread chronic inflammation, avoid the use of antibiotics, improve cell vitality and improve sub-health. Incidentally, antibiotics should be used with caution. When you have to use antibiotics, don't forget to eat high-quality dietary fiber. It helps the growth of probiotics, thus partially offsetting the killing of probiotics by antibiotics, helping to maintain the balance of bacteria in the body, protect immunity and promote muscle rehabilitation.
11. Clean the mouth
Prevent periodontal disease and heart disease related to oral hygiene. This function is also related to the in vivo synthesis and defecation of the above B vitamins.
1. Middle aged and elderly people
As physiological function weakens, constipation is one of the main problems that plagued the middle-aged and the elderly. There are also a series of health problems, such as diabetes, obesity, hyperlipidemia and hypertension. Wheat dietary fiber extracted from wheat bran is the most effective in increasing the volume and amount of feces, and its effect is better than other dietary fibers. Wheat dietary fiber can absorb intestinal toxins and promote intestinal peristalsis, so as to improve constipation and excrete intestinal toxins.
The sugar ingested by the human body from food enters the blood after digestion. The glucose in the blood is stored in the liver in the form of glycogen, the other part is used by the body's cell tissue, and the remaining part is stored in subcutaneous fat. The substance that promotes glucose conversion to fat is insulin. If insulin is not enough in the body, glucose can not be fully transformed and stay in the blood, it will increase the sugar content in the blood and cause diabetes. Wheat dietary fiber can promote human gastrointestinal absorption of water, delay glucose absorption and improve sugar tolerance.
2. Young and middle-aged white-collar women
Irregular diet due to work and life pressure or weight loss needs, resulting in intermittent constipation, resulting in the failure of normal excretion of intestinal toxins, affecting skin color, long-term intestinal lesions and colorectal cancer. Wheat dietary fiber can reduce the concentration of carcinogens. Wheat dietary fiber on the shoulder can stimulate intestinal peristalsis and greatly shorten the contact time between carcinogens and intestinal wall.
Wheat dietary fiber can replace part of the nutrients in food. Secondly, it increases the chewing time, delays the eating speed, reduces the total food intake due to the sense of satiety, and reduces the absorption rate of fat, so as to achieve the purpose of slimming and weight loss or weight control.
According to epidemiology, the occurrence of breast cancer is related to dietary intake of high fat, high sugar, high meat and low dietary fiber. Because too much fat in the body promotes the synthesis of some hormones, forms an imbalance between hormones, and causes the hormone level in the breast to rise.
3. Middle aged business people
Due to excessive smoking and alcohol and irregular diet caused by long-term entertainment, middle-aged business people often encounter health problems such as intermittent constipation and three highs. The reduction of wheat dietary fiber delays the absorption of fatty nutrients, increases the consumption of cholesterol, and makes the metabolism of cholesterol enter a virtuous cycle, so as to reduce blood lipid and prevent coronary heart disease.
Wheat dietary fiber binds fat, increases fat excretion in feces, and promotes bile secretion and circulation. Therefore, it can prevent the formation of gallstones.
4. Young people
Childhood obesity has become an important health hazard, which will seriously affect the growth and development of children. Over nutrition and unbalanced nutrition are the main reasons, so a balanced diet is urgently needed. After eating wheat dietary fiber food, the body weight is significantly reduced, the waist circumference and hip circumference are significantly reduced, and the concentrations of insulin and blood lipid are significantly reduced, indicating that dietary fiber can inhibit the hunger center, reduce people's food intake, increase fecal excretion, reduce the body's absorption of nutrients and reduce blood lipid.
For adolescent girls, adequate dietary fiber intake is beneficial to prevent the side effects of modern diet and lifestyle and prevent premature menstruation, thereby reducing the risk of breast cancer.
