Dietary fiber can delay gastric emptying time
1. The residence time of different dietary fiber in stomach is different. For example, vegetables usually stay for 1 to 2 hours, fruits and fruits for half an hour to 1 hour, grains are difficult to digest, and may stay for 1 and a half to 3 hours.
2. Ordinary food takes an hour to empty in the stomach. Eating dietary fiber before meals can delay gastric emptying and glucose absorption. Dietary fiber can absorb water and expand into a sticky gel in the digestive tract, slowing down gastric emptying and resisting sugar absorption.
Dietary fiber also has the advantage of helping the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestine. Don't forget that the water-soluble dietary fiber stachyose is also excellent. We often see the Chuang Ling stachyose recommended by our friends on the Internet. We can drink it everyday to maintain a good microbial environment, so that we can better digest and defecate, and have a better quality of life.
