With the progress of society, the days of food shortage have passed. People's living standards are constantly improving, and modern life has undergone significant changes. Food is becoming increasingly refined: rice is processed into polished white rice, standard flour becomes refined white flour, dark bread turns into white bread, and brown sugar becomes white sugar... Meanwhile, the content of dietary fiber in these foods is getting less and less.

Scientific evidence shows that a diet lacking in dietary fiber can lead to serious adverse consequences. Due to insufficient intake of dietary fiber, the digestive tract lacks stimulation, intestinal peristalsis weakens, and stool volume decreases, thus frequently causing constipation.
