German nutrition expert Sabina Holtzman stated that "inulin" has numerous health benefits; this substance, which belongs to dietary fibers, activates digestion, helps with weight loss, and promotes a slim figure. Holtzman explained that inulin enhances intestinal flora, stimulates the digestive process, and treats constipation. It also prolongs the feeling of fullness and helps maintain stable blood sugar levels, in addition to being low in calories. Studies indicate that inulin assists the body in absorbing calcium, which is essential for bone health. Rich dietary sources of inulin include artichokes, asparagus, onions, garlic, leeks, and parsnips.
