After the Spring Festival, many kidney friends say that they have gained weight and sometimes become constipated. Should I eat more dietary fiber to improve my constipation? In this regard, Dr. Kidney wants to tell you that in addition to improving constipation, there are many benefits of dietary fiber. Today's small class of Dr. Kidney will take you to learn more about dietary fiber.

What is dietary fiber?

Dietary fiber is a polymer of carbohydrates. Although it cannot be digested and absorbed by the human body, it is very beneficial to human health. Properly increasing dietary fiber intake can stimulate intestinal peristalsis and help improve constipation.

In addition, dietary fiber is also helpful for lowering blood lipids, lowering blood sugar, and preventing cancer. The daily intake of dietary fiber for kidney friends can also protect the kidneys and help delay the progression of kidney disease. The recommended intake of dietary fiber is 25-30g per day, but in real life, many people do not eat enough.

With the improvement of people's living standards, the diet structure has also undergone great changes. The meat intake has increased significantly, and the staple food has become more and more refined, resulting in a serious lack of dietary fiber intake. Due to strict dietary restrictions, patients with kidney disease can eat less plant food, so the dietary fiber intake of kidney friends is even less.
