Oat Dietary Fiber

Lower cholesterol

Oat bran has a significant cholesterol lowering effect, and the main effect is β- Glucan.

Hypoglycemic

Oat bran, rich in water-soluble dietary fiber, can reduce blood sugar in at least two ways:

Dietary fiber binds glucose molecules, slows their entry into the bloodstream, and reduces the concentration of glucose.

Dietary fiber inhibition α- The effect of amylase on starch extends the action time of enzymes and starch, and slows down the release of glucose.

Antioxidant

The content of various antioxidant substances in oat bran is high, including vitamin E, phytic acid, ferulic acid, coumarin, and so on.

Reduce weight

Oat bran can reduce the content of cholesterol and other lipids in the body, effectively adsorb fat in the body, promote fat metabolism, and thereby achieve weight loss.

Prevention of colorectal diseases and cancer

Dietary fiber can effectively prevent intestinal diseases, especially colon cancer:

Probiotics in the gut can use dietary fiber to produce short chain fatty acids, which can inhibit the production of saprophytes, which are one of the carcinogens.

Dietary fiber binds bile acid and expels it from the body, preventing it from being metabolized by bacteria to generate lithocholic acid and deoxyric acid, both of which are extremely strong carcinogens.

Probiotics in the gut decompose dietary fiber to produce butyric acid, which can inhibit the growth and proliferation of tumor cells, induce tumor cells to transform into normal cells, and control the expression of oncogenes.
