Cellulose is a polysaccharide compounds. Crude fiber food, including cellulose, semi-crude fiber and lignin.
The role of cellulose:
① contribute to a variety of intestinal synthesis of vitamin E. coli.
② small proportion of cellulose, size large, in the gastrointestinal occupy a larger space, people have three square meals a sense, is conducive to weight loss.
③ bulky cellulose, after eating can stimulate the gastrointestinal tract, so that an increase in digestive juice secretion and gastrointestinal motility increased, constipation, diabetes can control.
④ high-fiber diet can slow down gastric emptying, intestinal transit time, the formation of soluble fiber in the gel, such as the role of intestinal sugar absorption by slowing down. Also by reducing intestinal hormones such as gastric inhibitory polypeptide or glucagon secretion, reduction of insulin to stimulate B cells to reduce insulin release and increased peripheral insulin receptor sensitivity, so that to enhance glucose metabolism.
⑤ In recent years, studies have proved to enable high-fiber diet in patients with type Ⅰ diabetes mellitus on mononuclear cells to increase insulin receptor binding, insulin requirements in order to save.
This shows that patients with diabetes to eat high-fiber diet, not only can improve high blood sugar, reduce insulin and oral hypoglycemic drugs, dose, and is conducive to weight loss, but also prevention and treatment of constipation.
Cellulose-free food: chickens, ducks, fish, meat, eggs, etc.; food containing a large number of cellulose include: coarse grains, vegetables, beans and so on. Therefore recommended that the appropriate number of diabetic patients to eat beans and fresh vegetables, such as cellulose-rich food. At present, the plant fiber food, more than is rice bran, wheat bran, wheat bad, beet chip, pumpkin, corn bran and seaweed made from plants, to reduce blood glucose, blood lipids have a role.
