Gastrointestinal Protection of Oat Beta-Glucan in People with Excessive Diet

During the New Year party, people often enjoy delicious food, but excessive eating and the intake of greasy food often bring no small burden to the stomach. Today, L&P Foods will share with you a small trick to care for the stomach - Oat Beta-Glucan.

Oat Beta-Glucan is a dietary fiber found in oats. It is like the intimate small guard of the stomach, and can show good results in the period when the diet is irregular and the food is too greasy. When we eat too much high-fat, high-sugar food, the digestive function of the stomach may be affected, and oatmeal glucan can enhance the sense of fullness and reduce the excessive intake of food. At the same time, it can also enhance the peristaltic function of the intestine, helping food to be digested and excreted more quickly ^[1].

The Benefits of Oat Beta-Glucan

Gastric Mucosa Protectant

The viscous characteristics of Oat Beta-Glucan enable it to form a protective film on the surface of gastric mucosa and reduce the stimulation and damage of harmful substances on gastric mucosa. This role helps to prevent the occurrence of stomach discomfort such as gastritis and gastric ulcers, providing additional protection for gastrointestinal health during the festival ^[1].

 Adjust the Structure of Intestinal Flora

After entering the human gut, Oat Beta-Glucan becomes an important "food" for probiotics. By selectively stimulating the growth and vitality of probiotics, Oat Beta-Glucan can effectively adjust the structure of intestinal flora, increase the proportion of beneficial bacteria, and reduce the growth of harmful bacteria.

Restore Bowel Movement

Oat Beta-Glucan absorbs water and expands in the intestine, forming a thick, gelatinous substance that helps soften the stool and increase the volume of the stool, thereby naturally enhancing the intestinal peristalsis and making bowel movements more smooth. This makes Oat Beta-Glucan outstanding in terms of defecation difficulties and an integral part of many people's holiday diets.

Build Strong Body Defenses

Oat Beta-Glucan can not only adjust the structure of intestinal flora, but also help to activate the body's defense cells, maintain the stability of the body's environment, and build a solid defense line for the body.

Not only that, Oat Beta-Glucan also has the effect of regulating blood sugar and blood lipids. During the Spring Festival, sweets, pastries and other sweets as well as a variety of meat dishes eat too much, easy to lead to blood sugar and lipid instability. Oat Beta-Glucan can slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, thereby stabilizing blood sugar levels. And it binds to cholesterol, reducing cholesterol absorption and maintaining cardiovascular health.

In the happy time of the New Year party, don't forget to give the stomach more care. Take 3-5g Oat Beta-Glucan every day, while paying attention to maintain a balanced and diverse diet, avoid overeating and excessive intake of greasy, spicy, high-sugar and other foods, the stomach is relaxed and no burden!
