The 20 common foods with the highest prebiotic content

Prebiotics generally refer to food components that are not digested, that is, when prebiotics enter the human body, they will not be absorbed by the digestive tract or broken down by enzymes, but are used as an energy source by probiotics to promote their growth and action, and then produce health effects. Products that combine probiotics and prebiotics are called "synbiotics".

Jin Zonglian said that the prebiotic oligo is a special oligosaccharide, which is also a very important prebiotic. Its main components include: fructooligosaccharides, galacto-oligosaccharides, isomalto-oligosaccharides, xylo-oligosaccharides, and soybean oligosaccharides.

It is mainly found in more than 30,000 kinds of plants such as human milk, honey and soybeans, onions, and garlic. It also has the health effect of activating the proliferation of probiotics in the body, inhibiting harmful bacteria, stimulating cell vitality and enhancing the body's immune vitality.

In addition to the above advantages, it is also very suitable for diabetics. For example, fructooligosaccharides are as sweet as sucrose, and they will not cause blood sugar growth after eating, which is very effective for diabetics and ** people.

Prebiotic consumption is just getting started.

Although the world's research on the role of prebiotic oligosaccharides has been carried out for more than 20 years, in recent years, there are more than 530 kinds of products with prebiotic oligosaccharides as raw materials in Japan, but its research, production and consumption in China are still in their infancy. Jin Zonglian said that China should also strengthen its industrialization and scientific and technological innovation capabilities.

For example, among the oligosaccharides of prebiotics, xylo-oligosaccharides are the least used, and only one gram per day can achieve health goals, and it is cultivated from hard-to-use corn cobs to achieve waste utilization. But now China's market is mainly used in the malto-oligosaccharides, Jin Zonglian said, this is because China's existing scientific level can not reach the mass production of xylo-oligosaccharides, the need to import related enzymes, the cost is very high. Therefore, with the development of technology, the quality of related products will also improve, but it will be reduced.

Prebiotics mainly include various oligosaccharides or oligosaccharides (composed of 2 10 molecular monosaccharides). More generally, it is functional oligosaccharides.

Functional oligosaccharides include isomalto-oligosaccharides, galacto-oligosaccharides, fructooligosaccharides, lactulose oligosaccharides, lactulose, soybean oligosaccharides, xylo-oligosaccharides, palatinose, coupled fructose, gentian-oligosaccharides, etc., among which, except for gentian-oligosaccharides that have no sweetness but have a soft refreshing bitter taste, the rest have different degrees of sweetness, which can be used as functional sweeteners to replace or partially replace sucrose in food. So far, there are more than 1,000 known functional oligosaccharides, and only a few foods in nature contain natural functional oligosaccharides, such as: onions, garlic, miscanthus shells, asparagus, chicory root and artichoke tubers contain fructooligosaccharides, and soybeans contain soybean oligosaccharides (a mixture composed of stachyose, raffinose and sucrose).

Prebiotics are known as the "superfood" of probiotics, and the reason why they are called so is because prebiotics have many effects. First of all, it can improve intestinal function, and it is said that relevant researchers have studied prebiotics and shown that prebiotics can ferment a short-chain fatty acid, which has a certain effect on intestinal hormone regulation. In this way, after the regulation of short-chain fatty acids, of course, intestinal peristalsis can be promoted.

Not only that, prebiotics also have a certain moisturizing ability, which can soften the stool in the body, which is very suitable for people with constipation. Many people may not know much about prebiotics, and they don't know what it does, prebiotics are simply dietary supplements, with the help of prebiotics, they can promote the growth of bacteria and improve the environment in the intestines. After all, not all bacteria are harmful to the human body, and some bacteria are beneficial to the body.

After the intestinal environment is improved by probiotics, it can effectively alleviate the symptoms of constipation or diarrhea, because constipation or diarrhea is mostly caused by intestinal dysbiosis. As long as the intestinal colony is restored to balance through the promotion of prebiotics, constipation or diarrhea will naturally occur. If you find that your gastrointestinal function is not very good and you often like constipation, then you can try prebiotics, I believe the effect is still very good.

In addition to playing a great role in the intestines, prebiotics also have a certain effect on regulating the body's immunity. If you find that your physique is poor or malnourished, you can also take some prebiotics appropriately. However, when taking prebiotics, it is best to take them in moderation according to the doctor's instructions to avoid adverse effects on the body.

Usually, people add prebiotics to their drinks, so you can buy some drinks with added prebiotics to improve your health.

Prebiotics can play a good role in supplementing nutrition, and can promote the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, which can improve constipation.

To a certain extent, Shengyuan can promote our gastrointestinal digestion, so that our intestines and stomach can move normally and maintain a healthy state.

1. Infants and children.

For infants and children, in the development process of infant formula and formula food, prebiotics that can fully proliferate bifidobacteria and have a high proliferation rate, such as galacto-oligosaccharides, isomalto-oligosaccharides, etc., can be selected.

2. Middle-aged and elderly people.

For middle-aged and elderly people, in view of their constipation and intestinal aging symptoms are very serious, you can consider choosing oligosaccharides that can integrate the effects of prebiotics and dietary fiber, such as isomalto-oligosaccharides, fructooligosaccharides, etc., to help middle-aged and elderly people recover their health.

3. People with sensitive flatulence and Zen group.

For people who are more sensitive to flatulence, they can appropriately avoid eating prebiotics such as soybean oligosaccharides and fructooligosaccharides that are prone to flatulence, and choose isomalto-oligosaccharides and galacto-oligosaccharides with the least gas production.
