Can drink dietary fiber powder reduce the absorption of sugar

It can delay the obstruction, but can not block the absorption of sugar

1. After reaching the digestive tract, dietary fiber has good hydrophilicity and can absorb water and expand to form a grass ball or gel state, thereby increasing the viscosity of food and not only increasing satiety. It can also delay the gastric emptying time, thus affecting the intestinal absorption of sugar, delaying or limiting the spread of nutrients in food to the surface of the gastrointestinal tract, delaying or hindering the intestinal absorption of sugar such as glucose.

2. Dietary fiber is plant-based and can resist digestive enzymes in human digestive tract, so it is not absorbed and utilized by human body, and its energy value is almost zero. Many weight loss friends choose dietary fiber to resist sugar and block carbohydrate absorption, but dietary fiber can't block sugar absorption.

If you want to balance the intestinal flora and eat more meat, you need to appropriately increase dietary fiber. Dietary fiber also has the advantage of helping the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestine. Don't forget, you can also directly take stachyose to provide nutrition for probiotics in the intestine and promote their growth and reproduction, so as to increase the humidity and water retention of stool, and also increase the intestinal pushing ability. Another excellent example is stachyose, a water-soluble dietary fiber. I often see the stachyose recommended by my friends on the Internet. You can drink it everyday. Maintaining a good flora environment makes it easier for us to digest and defecate well.
