What is the function of prebiotics?

The physiological function of prebiotics is to balance human health by promoting the proliferation of beneficial bacteria in the intestine, reducing harmful bacteria by proliferating beneficial bacteria in the body and optimizing the flora. Oligosaccharides also have the function of dietary fiber, which can increase the water-holding capacity and capacity of stool, so that it can be easily discharged, play the role of "intestinal scavenger", play a two-way adjustment role for constipation and diarrhea, and effectively reduce blood lipids and cholesterol by adsorbing anions and bile acids in the intestinal tract. According to the data of the fourth survey on nutrition and health of China residents jointly released by the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the National Bureau of Statistics, malnutrition caused by microecological imbalance is becoming one of the biggest threats to public nutrition and health in China. According to the latest data of the World Health Organization, there are 654.38+0.2 billion people suffering from gastrointestinal diseases in China. Related studies have found that intestinal cancer, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and so on are all related to intestinal flora imbalance. Therefore, to improve human health, we must start from improving the microecology of the intestine. I hope I can help you.
