Description
Dietary fiber — found mainly in
fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes — is probably best known for
its ability to prevent or relieve constipation. But fiber can provide
other health benefits as well, such as lowering your risk of diabetes and
heart disease. Dietary fiber, also known as roughage or bulk, includes all
parts of plant foods that your body can't digest or absorb. Unlike other
food components such as fats, proteins or carbohydrates — which your body
breaks down and absorbs — fiber isn't digested by your body. Therefore, it
passes virtually unchanged through your stomach and small intestine and
into your colon.
A high-fiber diet has many benefits, which include*:
-
Prevents constipation.
Dietary fiber increases the weight and size of your stool and softens it.
A bulky stool is easier to pass, decreasing your chance of constipation.
If you have loose, watery stools, fiber may also help to solidify the
stool because it absorbs water and adds bulk to stool.
-
Lowers your risk of
digestive conditions. A high-fiber diet may lower your risk of
specific disorders, such as hemorrhoids, irritable bowel syndrome and the
development of small pouches in your colon (diverticular disease).
-
Lowers blood cholesterol
levels. Soluble fiber found in beans, oats, flaxseed and oat bran may
help lower total blood cholesterol levels by lowering low-density
lipoprotein, or "bad," cholesterol levels.
-
Controls blood sugar levels.
Fiber, particularly soluble fiber, can slow the absorption of sugar, which
for people with diabetes, can help improve blood sugar levels. A
high-fiber diet may also reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
-
Aids in weight loss.
High-fiber foods generally require more chewing time, which gives your
body time to register when you're no longer hungry, so you're less likely
to overeat. Also, a high-fiber diet tends to make a meal feel larger and
linger longer, so you stay full for a greater amount of time. And
high-fiber diets also tend to be less "energy dense," which means they
have fewer calories for the same volume of food.
A low-calorie, high-fiber diet can make unwanted fats less likely to be
absorbed and offer all the benefits listed above. Give your digestive system and your weight-loss program a
helping hand by adding
support with Thermo-Bond®.*
