Benefits of Jia Hor Fibre
Jia Hor Fibre has been awarded with 4 accreditations, giving it the following benefits:
(a) Regulating bowel functions
Regular intake of 25g to 35g per day will help minimize the risk of intestinal cancer because it:
- encourages smoother bowel movements
- shortens the time taken for the body toxins to pass through our gastrointestinal tract
- restores the flora balance in our bowel system.
(b) Maintaining healthy blood glucose level
The dietary fibres in Jia Hor Fibre are capable of improving the metabolism of carbohydrates in our body. This means it can help slow down the rate at which the blood glucose elevates after meals. This contributes to controlling blood glucose level and preventing diabetes.
(c) Reducing cholesterol level
The water soluble fibres of Jia Hor Fibre are helpful in adhering and absorbing the free fatty acids from our food to reduce the assimilation of cholesterol into the blood. This helps lower the risks of arteriosclerosis (hardening of the artery walls) and heart disease.
(d) Reducing triglycerides level
A high level of triglycerides will make our blood serum viscous or thick, causing a high risk of cardiovascular diseases. The dietary fibres in Jia Hor Fibre are capable of reducing the serum triglycerides level, keeping it at a healthy level.
