想控制体重,多补充纤维吧

For better weight control, fiber up!

想控制体重，多补充纤维吧！

The latest trick to fighting obesity isn't a focus on eating less fat or sugar (although that would probably help): It's eating more fiber. And not just any kind of fiber. It should be the fermentable type. Microbes in the gut chow down on this type of fiber. As they break it down, they release a chemical that moves to the brain. There it curbs appetite.

最新的减肥方法不是减少脂肪和糖分的摄入（尽管吃多吃这些也可能会让你变胖），而是多吃纤维。这里所说的纤维并不是任何一种都可以，而是那种可以发酵的纤维。肠内的细菌会对这种类型纤维大快朵颐。当它们将其分解时会释放一种化学物质传送给大脑，此时食欲会被控制。

Researchers at Imperial College London, in England, say their study is the first to link eating fiber to the brain hormones that help you feel full. They published their findings April 29 in Nature Communications.

英国帝国理工学院研究者称他们是首例把食用纤维和大脑荷尔蒙联系起来解释食用者会有饱腹感。4月29日他们在自然通讯上发表了这一结果。

Scientists have known that obese people tend to eat foods low in dietary fiber. At some level, that made sense. Fermentable fiber - fiber that is broken down by gut microbes - makes people feel full after eating somewhat less. Such fiber is found in fruits, vegetables, oats and barley.
