Abstract

This study explores the facilitation of dietary fiber to body intestinal canal digestive function; Make analyses to the efficacy of different dietary fibers to digestive system and study their mechanism of action. The research shows that dietary fiber can promote the proliferation of beneficial bacterium and can restrain the production of harmful bacterium. Through the research on intrinsic factor intestinal flora and extrinsic factor dietary fiber which have an influence on body metabolism, it discussed and analyzed the interaction relation between the intake of dietary fiber and the variety and quantity of intestinal flora. Dietary fiber can facilitate body digestive function.

Keywords:

Dietary fiber, digestive function, intestinal microflora,
