Different Effects of Dietary Fiber and Lactic Acid Bacteria on Intestinal Health

Dietary fiber has a strong ability to absorb water or combine with water. This effect can increase the volume of feces in the intestine, speed up its transportation and reduce the time when harmful substances contact the intestinal wall.

Lactic acid bacteria can regulate the normal flora of gastrointestinal tract, maintain microecological balance, improve food digestibility and biological value, inhibit the growth and reproduction of spoilage bacteria in intestinal tract and the production of spoilage products, produce nutrients, stimulate tissue development, and thus have an effect on the nutritional status, physiological function, cell infection, immune response and tumorigenesis of the body.
