Ⅰ. Encyclopedia business card of wheat dietary fiber

Wheat dietary fiber powder is refined from wheat bran through the patented technology of cell wall breaking, protein maturation, and molecular chain cutting. It is a golden brown low-fat, low-energy, high-quality dietary fiber food.

Ⅱ. Introduction to wheat dietary fiber

Wheat bran contains a variety of active substances, including 50% dietary fiber. The wheat bran dietary fiber is mainly composed of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. In 1980, the International Society for Cereal Chemistry (ICC) pointed out in the conference that "wheat bran is the most concentrated, effective and suitable for humans in the dietary fiber that can be generally obtained." Wheat dietary fiber has a long history of application in the West and has high safety. It is recognized as a natural dietary fiber.

According to its solubility in hot water, dietary fiber can be roughly divided into two types: soluble and insoluble dietary fibers. The ratio of insoluble dietary fiber to soluble dietary fiber in wheat is about 9:1, and the ratio of insoluble dietary fiber to soluble dietary fiber reaches 8:2 through this patented technology. Insoluble dietary fiber is the part of dietary fiber that is not digested by human digestive tract enzymes and is insoluble in hot water. It is mainly a component of cell walls, including cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, chitosan, and vegetable waxes.

Ⅲ. The history of dietary fiber

In 1953, "dietary fiber" was first proposed as a term and replaced "crude fiber", which was used to refer to the indigestible residues in food. After more than half a century of research, the definition of dietary fiber has been continuously improved and developed.

In 1995, the American Association of Biochemical Pharmaceuticals (Asp) recommended the following definitions of dietary fiber in nutrition labels: those that are not easily digestible carbohydrates analyzed by standard methods, and those that cannot be digested in the human small intestine, have one or more Dietary fiber has typical physiological effects and can be analyzed in a simple and reasonable way in unknown foods.

Since 1997, some researchers have defined dietary fiber as the part that cannot be digested by the human body, including oligosaccharides, resistant starches, resistant proteins, and combined compounds.

In 2001, the American Association of Cereal Chemists (AACC) officially defined dietary fiber. The definition content is "The edible parts or carbohydrates of plants can resist digestion and absorption in the human small intestine, and are fully or partially digested in the large intestine. Dietary fiber includes polysaccharides, oligosaccharides, lignin and related plant substances. Dietary fiber can Promote the regulation of body functions, including promoting bowel movements, lowering cholesterol and lowering blood sugar."

In 2004, the International Codex Alimentarius Commission defined dietary fiber as a carbohydrate polymer that cannot be digested and absorbed in the small intestine and has a degree of polymerization of less than 3 (or 10), and has at least one of the following two characteristics: First, it is naturally present in food The edible carbohydrate polymer, the second is the carbohydrate polymer that can be obtained from food raw materials through physical, enzymatic or chemical methods."

"Wealth disease" caused by unbalanced diet and overnutrition has been widespread in our country. Obesity, hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, mastitis, colon cancer, etc. have become the main diseases that endanger the health of our people. At present, the daily dietary fiber intake of Chinese adults is only 8-10g. Due to the role of dietary fiber to prevent "richness disease", the "Reference Intake of Dietary Nutrients for Chinese Residents" issued by the Chinese Nutrition Society in 2000 stipulates that adult dietary fiber The intake is about 30g per day, and wealthy patients increase 10-15g on the above basis.

Ⅳ. Functions of wheat dietary fiber

1. Lowering blood fat

One is to reduce and delay the absorption of fat nutrients, and the other is to increase cholesterol consumption. The human body's digestion and absorption process requires the participation of bile acids, and the source of bile acids is cholesterol. After the bile is discharged from the gallbladder into the duodenum to participate in digestion, it is usually re-absorbed back to the liver, and then re-circulated into the gallbladder 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 be excreted from the body. When the human body needs new bile acids, it will use cholesterol to reduce the blood cholesterol concentration, and then break down body fat to replenish blood cholesterol. If this process continues, the metabolism of cholesterol enters a virtuous circle. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) is improved, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) is effectively reduced.

2. Lowering blood sugar

The human body needs energy. Excess energy is not good for health. The energy supply process, especially the process of supplying energy through carbohydrates, cannot do without insulin. To ensure that the energy supply is maintained when the blood sugar level is reasonable is the goal we need to achieve. Therefore, our food structure must not only help control blood sugar levels but also ensure continuous energy supply. The solution is to control the total amount of energy and control the rate of blood sugar production, so that it continuously and slowly enters the blood for continuous energy supply. The main mechanism of lowering blood sugar is achieved by reducing the glycemic index and avoiding blood sugar peaks. Coupled with limiting the total amount of sugar, there will be neither excessive blood sugar peaks nor sugar shortage in the body. The glycemic index is how much blood sugar rises in a certain period of time after we eat a certain food. A reasonable dietary structure should not be foods with too high glycemic index. It should be that sugar can slowly enter our blood, reducing the workload of our pancreas and maintaining relatively low insulin levels in the body. Don't have too much energy, but ensure continuous energy supply. Wheat dietary fiber provides a nearly perfect function of lowering the glycemic index. It can inhibit the activity of amylase, lower the glycemic index of food, reduce total energy, extend energy supply time, and avoid unreasonable blood sugar peaks. At the same time, it reduces insulin resistance and improves receptor sensitivity.

3. Maintain cell tissue health

Under the premise of ensuring sufficient insulin and ensuring nutrition, energy is limited. When the insulin level in the body is relatively low, the cell tissue is strong and the metabolic system operates normally. At the same time, the probiotics grow vigorously, the body immunity is strong, and it is not easy to get sick. By the way, when you have to use antibiotics, don't forget to eat high-quality dietary fiber, which helps probiotics grow, thereby partially offsetting the killing of probiotics by antibiotics.

4. Laxative

Dietary fiber can be partially or completely degraded in the lower digestive tract to produce short-chain fatty acids, and provide nourishment for probiotics, and promote a beneficial balance of intestinal flora. The comprehensive effect of this process is to provide energy, promote intestinal peristalsis, eliminate constipation, increase stool volume, facilitate detoxification, and improve immunity. Smooth and substantial stool is a health achievement!

5. Weight loss

The principle of weight loss is the combination of lowering blood fat, lowering blood sugar, increasing satiety and controlling energy intake.

6. Cancer prevention

Including bowel cancer and breast cancer, etc., these have reliable research and conclusive evidence. Adequate intake of dietary fiber has a multiplier effect on cancer prevention.

7. Prevent premature menstruation of adolescent girls

This is a major discovery made by many universities and research institutions in the world. For adolescent girls, adequate dietary fiber intake can help prevent the side effects of modern diet and lifestyle, and prevent premature menstruation. In a woman’s life, the length of time she is exposed to estrogen stimulation and the level of estrogen are closely related to the risk of breast cancer. Preventing premature menstruation is a wise move to protect women’s future health. Coupled with the lifelong intake of adequate dietary fiber, the discharge of excess estrogen, narrowing the gap between estrogen before and after menopause, and reducing the impact of physiological changes in the process of estrogen withdrawal are very important for menopause and postmenopausal life. Studies have shown that the 20% of menopausal women with the highest intake of dietary fiber have a 40% lower risk of breast cancer than the 20% with the lowest intake of dietary fiber. Combined with a low-fat diet, the risk is further reduced.

8. Protect brain health

This is the latest discovery of foreign research on the efficacy of dietary fiber. Adequate intake of dietary fiber can make the human brain "reduce fatigue, reduce emotional depression, and improve cognitive ability." To put it simply, keep your mind clear, quick thinking, and protect your brain health. Relying on coffee, smoking and tea for refreshing is far less healthy and effective than eating more dietary fiber. Our long-term research and practice have fully proved this point.

9. It is beneficial to the synthesis of biotin and B vitamins in the body

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 humans can synthesize in the body. The fermentation process of dietary fiber in the large intestine is conducive to the synthesis of biotin, which is conducive to the production of various enzymes and the metabolism of protein, fat and carbohydrates.

10. Anti-inflammatory

Dietary fiber promotes the growth of probiotics, improves the immunity of the body, suppresses and recovers the ubiquitous chronic inflammation, avoids the use of antibiotics, improves cell viability, and improves sub-health. By the way again, antibiotics should be used with caution. When antibiotics have to be used, don't forget to eat high-quality dietary fiber. It helps probiotics grow, thereby partially offsetting the killing of probiotics by antibiotics and helping to maintain the balance of bacteria in the body , Protect immunity and promote body recovery.

11. Clean the mouth

Prevent periodontal disease and heart disease related to oral hygiene. This function is also related to the above-mentioned B vitamin synthesis and laxative in vivo.

Ⅴ. Wheat dietary fiber is suitable for the crowd

1. Middle-aged and elderly people

With the weakening of physiological functions, constipation is one of the main problems that plague the middle-aged and elderly people. More serious, there are 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 of excrement and the amount of feces, and its effect is better than other dietary fibers. Wheat dietary fiber can absorb intestinal toxins and promote intestinal motility, so as to achieve the effect of improving constipation and detoxification.

The sugar that the human body takes in 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 cells and tissues, and the remaining part is stored in the subcutaneous fat. The substance that promotes the conversion of glucose into fat is insulin. If there is insufficient insulin in the body, glucose cannot be fully converted and stays in the blood, which will increase the sugar in the blood and cause diabetes. Wheat dietary fiber can promote human gastrointestinal absorption of water, delay the absorption of glucose, 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, which leads to intestinal toxins cannot be discharged normally, affects skin color, and may cause intestinal lesions and colon and rectal cancer in the long term. Wheat dietary fiber can relatively reduce the concentration of carcinogens. In addition, wheat dietary fiber has the effect of stimulating intestinal peristalsis, which greatly shortens the contact time of carcinogens with the intestinal wall.

Wheat dietary fiber can replace part of the nutrients in the food. Secondly, it increases the chewing time, delays the eating speed, and reduces the total food intake due to the feeling of fullness. At the same time, it reduces the fat absorption rate and achieves weight loss. And/or the purpose of weight control.

According to epidemiological findings, the occurrence of breast cancer is related to high fat, high sugar, high meat and low dietary fiber intake in the diet. Because too much fat in the body promotes the synthesis of certain hormones, the imbalance between the hormones is formed, and the hormone levels in the breast rise.

3. Middle-aged business people

Due to excessive smoking and drinking and irregular eating due to long-term social entertainment, middle-aged business people often encounter intermittent constipation and three-level health problems. Wheat dietary fiber can reduce and delay the absorption of fat nutrients, increase cholesterol consumption, and make cholesterol metabolism enter a benign cycle, thereby reducing blood lipid content and preventing coronary heart disease.

Wheat dietary fiber binds fat, increases fat excretion in feces, and promotes bile secretion and circulation. It can prevent the formation of gallstones.

4. Youth crowd

Child obesity has become an important health hazard, and it will seriously affect the growth and development of children. Overnutrition and imbalanced nutrition are the main reasons. There is an urgent need for balanced dietary nutrition. After eating wheat dietary fiber food, the body weight was significantly reduced, the waist circumference and hip circumference were significantly reduced, and the insulin and blood lipid concentrations were significantly reduced. Reduce blood lipids and other effects.

For adolescent girls, adequate dietary fiber intake helps prevent the side effects of modern diet and lifestyle, prevents premature menstruation, and reduces the risk of breast cancer.

The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle said: There are two kinds of people, one is "to eat to live" and the other is "to live to eat". The first reason why a person is great is that he is superior to ordinary people. heart of. "Ambition should be high and lofty", "Looking at the sight and scenery", these old sayings all inspire people to establish ambitions and have lofty ideals.

A psychologist went to a construction site and asked three workers who were laying bricks: "What are you doing?"

The first worker said lazily: "I'm laying bricks." The second worker said lacking enthusiasm: "I'm building a wall." The third worker said hopefully: "I'm building a tall building! "

After listening to the answer, the psychologist judged: The first person has only bricks in his heart, and he can build bricks in his life. It is good that he can build bricks in his life; the second person has only walls in his eyes, and he may be a technician if he works hard; and the third person already has A hall was erected, because he was optimistic and had lofty ambitions!

The frog at the bottom of the well can only see the palm-sized sky; the blind person who touches the elephant’s leg can only think that the elephant looks like a pillar; the person who climbs the Five Sacred Mountains can feel "a view of the small mountains"; the person who sees the sea, You will feel open and comfortable;

The person without hope in his heart is the poorest person in the world; the person without dream in his heart is the most mediocre person in the world; the person with shortsightedness is the most hopeless person.

Hu Xueyan, a "red-top businessman" in the Qing Dynasty, said: "The most important thing in doing business is vision. If you see a province, you can do business in a province; if you see the world, you can do business in the world; if you see a foreign country, you can do business. Foreign business." It can be seen that a person's mind and vision determine the shortness or loftiness of his aspirations; one's hopes and dreams determine the dim or brilliant life of a person.
