Dietary fiber for the Stay Home

Staying at home is becoming a long-term battle.

Do you have the habit of opening the refrigerator without thinking?

Do you find yourself snacking on snacks or drinking sugary drinks for no particular reason?

A strange phenomenon where "I've been exercising less, but my mouth feels empty." I shouldn't feel hungry, so why ... ?

Up until now, we've been using our bodies in our daily lives and work. In particular, we've been spending a lot of energy on "spatial movement."

Starting with commuting to work or school, going shopping, meeting people, going to the nail salon , etc. Especially in cities, many people choose to walk or use public transportation instead of their own cars on weekdays.

The energy consumption for that spatial movement has decreased dramatically. If this doesn't reduce your energy intake ... I don't need to tell you the result.

Here, you need to make an effort to endure even if your mouth feels empty!

First, try to stop keeping snacks on your desk at work. Also, cut down on the amount of sugary drinks you consume.

Since your energy consumption is reduced, you can take a break from drinking energy drinks.

In addition to these efforts , be sure to also try taking supplements !

I recommend a dietary fiber supplement , which helps slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Supplements whose main ingredient is "water-soluble dietary fiber" such as guar gum and inulin can help slow the rise in blood sugar levels after meals and reduce blood fats.

Furthermore, it serves as food for intestinal bacteria, increasing the number of good bacteria such as bifidobacteria. As the number of good bacteria increases, the intestinal mucosa becomes healthier and bowel movements improve.

This difficult period will surely end. The situation will surely be resolved. When that happens, I hope you will be able to meet your coworkers and friends again with healthy smiles and cheerful faces!

With that in mind, please incorporate "effort" and "dietary fiber supplements" into your Stay Home days.

Let's do our best together!
