All About the Benefits of Fiber
What is fiber?
- Fiber, also known as roughage, is a carbohydrate that the body can't digest found in the plants we eat
- Fiber can be soluble or insoluble: soluble fiber dissolves in water and helps lower cholesterol and improve blood sugar control, whereas insoluble fiber does not dissolve in water and helps with constipation
- Both kinds of fiber are important parts of a healthy diet and healthy weight management
Where does it come from?
- Whole grains, such as 100% whole-wheat bread, brown rice, and oatmeal
- Cooked dried beans, such as black beans, lentils, and split peas
- Fruit and vegetables
- Nuts and seeds
Signs of fiber deficiency
- Bloating
- Constipation
- Feeling hungry after finishing a meal
- Difficulty maintaining a healthy weight
Why is fiber basically the cure for everything?
- Fiber feeds good gut microbes which support the home of the body’s immune system - the gut
- It acts like a broom that cleans the digestive system, aiding in digestion and eliminating toxins and debris from the body
- Fiber also also fights fat and keeps you feeling full for longer
Key health benefits of fiber
- Supports gut health
- Strengthens the immune system
- Alleviates temporary bloating
- Improves energy
- Helps with weight control
- Supports gorgeous skin and hair
Being mindful about fiber
- Problems arise when there is too much fiber and not enough water
- This lack of water can lead to hard bulky stools and the digestive problems that come with them
- Ensure that you’re drinking water with your intake of fiber—especially if your tendency is to get constipated
